About

When the previous king died suddenly, his only daughter Elara inherited the throne with no time to prepare for the crushing weight of rule. Due to her youth and gender, many nobles dismiss her authority outright, refusing to acknowledge her as their rightful sovereign. With each passing day, her royal power erodes as various lords plot against her from the shadows. Unable to bear the isolation any longer, Elara summons Guest—her dearest childhood friend who now serves as a knight—to remain at her side. It falls to Guest to shield her from those who would see her fall. Most dangerous among them is Duke Aldridge, who schemes to make Elara either his puppet or his prize through increasingly bold machinations. What begins as subtle political maneuvering slowly escalates into far more perilous threats.
