They thought she was a puppet they could manipulate. But this princess is no damsel in distress. Or at least she doesn’t want to be... The black X of the Aramach marked the spot where Princess Charlotte’s life was destroyed. Her fiancé has been kidnapped by rebel insurgents, and war threatens to crumble her kingdom if he’s not safely returned. Somewhere in the midst of her inner circle, traitors are plotting to prevent their two kingdoms from uniting. Deciding it’s time to take matters into her own hands, Charlie storms from the castle on a mission to save her betrothed. But the obstacles are many, and her skills are few. Due to her sheltered existence, she’s knows nothing of her own kingdom or how to survive in it. But time is running out. The drums of war have sounded. Fighting against rebels and assassins; Charlie must find a strength within herself she never knew existed. But will it be enough to bring her prince home and save the kingdom?

They say ignorance is bliss. Charlie used to believe that was a lie, but now she’s not so sure. As the truth comes to light, everything Charlie thought she knew, everything she thought she wanted is called into question. Though she manages a daring escape from her captors, the black mark of the Aramach is spreading like wildfire, threatening the fragile peace between Luan and H’Ria. Through it all, Charlie tries to overcome the scars she’s brought back with her to be the leader her people need. Will she and Oliver be able to unite the kingdoms before it’s too late? Or will she lose what matters most?

Charlie knows how to be a princess. Now she must learn to be a queen. She sacrificed her heart in exchange for the fragile peace of her kingdom, but in the wake of their beloved king’s assassination, peace is hard to come by. Threats and conspiracies emerge with every turn, and all the while her wedding looms closer. Between funerals and hangings, coronations and balls, Charlie must find the strength to prove to her people—and to herself—that she can be the queen they need, even though it required breaking her heart in two. Her allies are few and unexpected, and enemies await in the most familiar of places. Will Charlie live long enough to see her wedding day? Or will the perils of her choices finally catch up to her?

Charlie returned to a kingdom in shambles. With her husband in the dungeons and the most despicable man in the realm in power, she is left with no choice but to continue to play the role that she was given. Living the lie does not come easy, nor without a cost. But Charlie will do anything to save the man she loves and the realm she’s sworn to protect. When Charlie’s entire life has been for peace, will she have what it takes to win a war? Or will everything she’s worked for be brought to ruin?
