The Love of Her Kingdom

In a land of war and illness, life is dangerous for both villagers and royals alike. Arely, the twin of the queen, spends her time in the castle gardens and infirmary, helping people with her royal magic, while her sister, Tavia, leads the army in battle.

But when Arely is captured by Rapora’s king, Shane, she is placed in the middle of the conflict. He proposes a deal for her to help him gain the Third Blessing, and therefore more magic, in exchange for her life. Although it will put her sister in danger, she hesitantly agrees.

She must find a way to protect her kingdom, even from the confines of Rapora’s secure castle. But will she be able to show Shane that they aren’t much different from each other in time to heal the kingdoms? Or will she fail the people who placed their trust in her when she was crowned queen?
