My decision to conquer neighboring kingdoms – and save their people – puts my kingdom on a dangerous warpath.
Aurelio, my arranged marriage husband, and I are complete opposites. He’s fun-loving and goofy. I’m reserved and ambitious, an Imperial queen with ancient healing powers.
He’s the perfect partner – I can conduct my royal duties without his interference.
After all, I have a nation to run and citizens to keep safe from demons, wendigos, and the other monsters that live in our midst.
But with our constant proximity, I find myself drawn to Aurelio’s rugged body, stunning hazel eyes, and, surprisingly, his brilliant strategies on all royal matters.
When I hear news of neighboring kingdoms whose people are sick and starving, I am livid. Even my healing powers aren’t enough to save them all.
With Aurelio at my side, I decide to stage a coup to rescue these people.
But this drastic decision could incite a war that would threaten the safety of our kingdom.
