The gods sent monsters to the five kingdoms to remind mortals they must kneel. As a princess, her only duty is to wear the crown and obey the king. She was never meant to rule, never meant to fight, and she was never supposed to seal an ancient treaty with her own blood. Now she's crossing treacherous lands beside a warrior who despises her as much as she despises him, bound to a future she didn't choose and a husband she barely knows. Everyone wants her to be something she's not: a queen, a spy, a sacrifice. But what if she refused the role chosen for her?
