About This Book

Raised to rule, despite not having the abilities her ancestors did, Aurora becomes betrothed to a prince who possesses the magic needed to keep the kingdom safe.

Our Review

A princess without magic must navigate political alliances and royal expectations in a kingdom where power determines everything. Aurora's arranged marriage to a magically gifted prince becomes her only hope for securing her family's legacy, forcing her to confront what she's willing to sacrifice for duty. This fantasy romance explores the tension between personal desire and royal responsibility through a protagonist who must find strength beyond supernatural abilities.

Carmack creates a compelling dynamic between Aurora's strategic mind and her fiancΓ©'s magical prowess, suggesting that different kinds of power can be equally valuable in ruling a kingdom. Readers who enjoy strong female characters defying expectations will appreciate Aurora's journey toward self-discovery beyond her magical limitations. The blend of court intrigue and slow-burn romance makes this particularly appealing for fans of arranged marriage trophes and fantasy worlds where political alliances carry life-or-death consequences.
