About the Book
A sunlit, emotionally charged fantasy romance where trials of magic, masked princes, and one impossible choice collide beneath the trees of Embergrove.
On the eve of the Bondlighting, Princess Aurenya must do what every royal heir before her has done—choose a husband from among five masked princes, each one representing a path for the kingdom’s future.
The suitors dazzle the court with power and promise, but Aurenya’s heart keeps drifting back to the one person who was never meant to stand in the light: Stone, her quiet, steadfast guard. His presence has always felt like safety—and a temptation she refuses to name.
As the trials burn through the ancient forest around them and old secrets claw their way free, Aurenya discovers that nothing beneath the veil is what it seems. The choice she makes will either save her kingdom… or burn everything she loves to the ground.
