About the book

After my father’s sudden death, I must take the crown — and choose a husband within a month. But how can I find someone who wants me, not just the throne? And how do I silence my heart, when it keeps screaming for the one man I can’t have — my loyal guard, who sees me as nothing more than a duty? As suitors vanish under mysterious circumstances and enemies weave their plots, I find myself trapped in my own palace — a pawn in a dangerous game. And to my horror, I’ve been chosen… as a gift for the future king.

    This is my first book by the author. I started reading it after noticing the quite beautiful Ukrainian, hoping to find a new favorite author, since I’ve already reread everything by the ones I’ve known for a long time. Unfortunately, it didn’t resonate with me at all… the plot stalls, there are many poorly thought-out, illogical, and childish moments… I would call the book a teenage read. I couldn’t finish it… I sincerely wish the author inspiration and growth! I believe the best works are yet to come!

    I read it, and it's just incredible!!! I was so waiting for their victory and finally got it! They love each other, and they have a little daughter!!! It just hits right in the heart! Thank you for such an intense novel, I’m thrilled with the characters and the strong-spirited Arabella—she achieved her goal and went through such a difficult path. She has become my idol among novels. Thank you so much!!! I hope for a continuation in a few years, when they have more children and Arabella with Artrey will shine in the role of the best kings (emperors).

    I think Atrey fell in love with Arabela almost immediately))), he just didn’t realize it, and the difference in their statuses didn’t even allow him to dream about it. - Could you kill for your beloved? - I could, if she loved me too. Together, we would overcome any Rodericks! Of course, Patricia had nothing to do with the "Rodericks"))) And she already loved him, he knew that! So, subconsciously, he was already imagining Arabela as his beloved; it was his feelings for her that prompted such a response! And also, Arabela managed to very convincingly assure him that she no longer loved him, which really hurt Atrey!) And this was only the second day of his service!
