Betrayed by the man she loved. Hunted by those she once ruled. Princess Nira of Aurelith should have died the night her husband’s blade pierced her heart. Thrown into the midnight river, she awakens in a strange city, stripped of her crown, her name, and her power. Disguised as a lowly seamstress, she must survive in the shadowy streets of Luminara, where secrets are currency and danger hides behind every smile. But whispers spread: The princess lives. And when a mysterious man in a black cloak brings her a dagger marked with the royal crest, Nira knows her past is coming for her. To reclaim her throne, she must master the art of deception, turn enemies into pawns, and decide who deserves her heart— the cold king who betrayed her, or the stranger who would kill for her. Love will tempt her. Revenge will drive her. Destiny will crown her… or destroy her. Perfect for fans of ruthless heroines, slow-burn romance, and twist-filled fantasy sagas.
