Choosing love over duty comes at a price—even for a future King.Growing up as the Heir to his mother's throne, Riffin knows he can get anything he wants—that is, as long as it benefits the kingdoms he's to inherit. With marriage offers from nobles coming in from across the land, Riffin makes an unpopular choice before a decision could be taken for him; to marry for love.Malia is the daughter of pirates and, as allies to the Queen, she's spent her entire life earning the ire of the nobles who deem her and her family unfit companions to their rulers. Told she has no place within civilised society, she’s well-aware that the love she shares with a future King is looked down upon, and that plenty are eager to watch her fall.As news of their marriage spreads, so does the discontent of nobles and allies. When a rebellion’s scheme puts his new wife in danger, Riffin finds that love and duty are, once again, in conflict with one another, and threatens just about everything he holds dear.If you like headstrong protagonists, court intrigue, power couples, forbidden love, and coming of age stories, you will love this rich fantasy universe. A series perfect for fans of The Cruel Prince, The Shadows Between Us and Red Queen.
