Princess Evelina Evernight was expected to obey—to smile, to submit, and to marry for the good of her kingdom. When she was promised to the heir of a rival realm, she became a living treaty, her freedom exchanged for peace.
But Evelina was done being silent.
Brielle knew how to disappear. Moving through the castle as a servant, she listened where others spoke freely and survived by remaining unnoticed. Yet beneath her quiet presence lay a secret—one that could shatter the fragile balance between kingdoms.
As secrets festered and political tensions rose, two women from opposite worlds found themselves bound by circumstance, choice, and a future neither had intended to claim.
In a kingdom ruled by night, the most powerful forces are the ones that remain in the dark.
