Princess Yvaine Lovell spent eighteen years within the safety of palace walls, where every day followed careful routine and every future step was planned long before she could choose it herself. Raised as the only heir to House Lovell, she carried grace, etiquette, and duty with quiet confidence. Then one night, everything changed. Torn from the only life she knew, Yvaine found herself forced to face a world far harsher than the one she'd always believed existed.
