Archer has always known what is expected of him. He accepts to be betrothed
to a woman he doesn’t know, for the sake of the kingdom. An alliance
between the two kingdoms is needed in order to fight off the rebels. He
goes to great lengths to win the affection of his betrothed.

Adalia doesn't want to be an ornament. She wants to be a strong queen, who
joins her army in battles. But she is a princess. The only thing expected
of her is to be beautiful and reproduce one heir after another. Adalia goes
to Archer’s kingdom ready to accept her fate. But when she runs into Xander
her childhood crush, she commits to marrying him instead of the future King.

BRED FOR DUTY

Archer took the threat as it was served, cold and loaded. He sat in a pocket of silence as he tried to figure out a way to get rid of Xander without hurting Adalia. But that wasn't going to be easy. 


The next morning he was woken up by the noises of people running around, and silver platters dropping on the floor with loud clangs. He didn't need reminding which day it was; Novia did her best not to let anyone forget. He could hear his sister singing from her room three doors down, and every part of him wanted the day to be done. Although at the end of it, Novia would have to leave for the South with Randi. He was going to lose his sister but he had Adalia to keep him company.
