The Crown's Treasure & The Northern Issue
A kingdom is on the brink.
A prince is under siege.
And the crown's most loyal lady is about to become the battleground.
When Duke Leoric Karsyn drops the Ledger of Partiality, exposing the crown's protected corruption, Aramor's court scrambles to survive the fallout. Lady Rhosyn Valewyn—raised to protect the monarchy at all costs—must outmanoeuvre scandal, sabotage, and a growing northern rebellion… while the law forces her toward marriage and the court whispers she'll become the Crown Prince's queen.
But Lord Merrow is circling her inheritance, the Crown Prince cannot save her, and Leoric is not merely the rebel she was taught to fear. He is a reformer with a vengeance, a duke playing a longer game, and the one man whose hand might shield her from ruin.
To save her prince, her duchy, and the realm itself, Rhosyn may have to bargain with the enemy.
Oaths will be tested. Love will turn sharp.
And in a realm where paperwork can start wars, the most lethal weapon might be the truth.
