Her Throne

She was born a bastard. Fate made her queen. 👑 Arthemia never dreamed of wearing a crown. Born from the king's impulsiveness with a woman outside the royal bloodline, she was nothing more than a shameful fruit—kept away from the palace and forgotten by the kingdom she was born to rule. But when the royal heir is found dead under mysterious circumstances, the kingdom is thrown into chaos. With no legitimate successor left, an ancient law of succession forces the court to acknowledge the one person they had spent years pretending did not exist. Arthemia. Overnight, the forgotten daughter of the king is summoned to the palace and placed before the throne. But the crown comes with a price. The royal council refuses to accept her. Noble families plot against her. The king's kinship's faction brands her a disgrace, while powerful ministers secretly search for a replacement who can be controlled. Even the people question whether a woman born outside the sacred bloodline has the right to rule them. And Arthemia soon realizes that her brother's death may not have been an accident. As she struggles to survive the treacherous royal court, she finds herself drawn to a mysterious man whose loyalty is impossible to read—a man who may be her greatest ally, her most dangerous enemy, or the one person capable of destroying everything she has left. But the deeper Arthemia digs into the secrets of the palace, the more horrifying the truth becomes. Her father's throne was never truly hers to inherit. It was a throne someone killed to give her. Now Arthemia must decide how far she is willing to go to keep it. Because in a kingdom built on blood and lies, a merciful queen will not survive. And if the palace wants a monster on the throne… Arthemia may become one. 👑👑👑👑👑 ♠️♠️♠️♠️♠️
