The Captive Throne

In a royal marriage of convenience, nothing is less convenient than love.

Princess Evaraine always knew she would one day wed a stranger, but her arranged marriage to the Prince of Garimore is nothing like she expected. She never anticipated losing her heart to the man she would marry. And she certainly would not have guessed that she’d be leaving him behind within hours of their wedding.

After the arrival of devastating news, Evaraine must make her way home in a desperate—and likely doomed—attempt to save her father. One tiny shard of hope remains, but it is a hope that requires her to face the darkness alone. Far from anyone familiar or beloved. Far from the man she knows will never return her love.

But she has no choice. There is no one else to fight for the people she was born to lead… no one but the most unlikely ally imaginable.

Prince Danric of Garimore has endured the dissolution of everything he thought he knew and found himself at a crossroads where only one certainty remains—if he cannot save the woman he has pledged his life to, every other victory will seem hollow.

But how can he convince her to trust him? Forgive him? How can he even find her when she seems determined to hide?

Time is running out, and the fate of all Abreia may rest with two wary hearts afraid to trust in the one thing that could save them both.
