A Crown of Thorns and Silence

K2Squad
The kingdom demands a queen. The Crown Prince demands obedience. Lady Elowen Evermere desires neither. When the royal decree summons every noble daughter to compete for the hand of Crown Prince Kael Viremont, Elowen becomes collateral damage in a political game she never asked to play. Unlike her ambitious younger sister, she has no interest in crowns, alliances, or courtly power. She wants a quiet life; books, gardens, and peace. But peace has no place in Kael’s court. The prince is not searching for a bride. He is hunting for threats. Cold, calculating, and dangerously perceptive, Kael quickly sees through the polished smiles of the noble daughters. And the only one who does not try to impress him — the silent duke’s eldest daughter — becomes the most intriguing of all. Elowen wants to be invisible. Kael refuses to let her disappear. As political schemes tighten around the throne, alliances fracture, and betrayal blooms beneath silk gowns and golden chandeliers, the selection becomes something far darker than marriage. It becomes a battlefield. And in a war where hearts are weapons and affection is leverage, the most dangerous move of all may be falling in love.
