Thrust into the royal court, Evelyn must face beautiful rivals, secret alliances, and silent wars fought behind jeweled smiles. The palace is full of charm on the outside-but inside, it's a battlefield. 💔 To the nobles, she's an outsider. To her rivals, a threat. But to the prince... she's the one thing he never expected. As the trials grow harder and danger creeps closer, Evelyn must decide: Will she fight for love-or survive for herself? If you love royal romance, slow-burn love stories, soft yet fierce heroines, and protective princes... this one's for you. 💫 Love doesn't follow the rules of the crown. Sometimes... it rewrites them.
