Elara was born to inherit a crown. Instead, she inherited a war. Kidnapped by Raven—the woman the monarchy erased—Elara is forced to confront the truth behind her family's power. The palace has declared her dead. Her father signed the order himself. And the empire she once defended is already replacing her. Raven doesn't want ransom. She wants transformation. As alliances fracture and blood stains royal banners, Elara must decide what she truly is: a porcelain princess shaped by tradition… or something sharper beneath the surface. In a world where loyalty is currency and love is leverage, power is no longer inherited. It is taken. A dark sapphic political thriller about betrayal, obsession, and the cost of becoming dangerous.
