At 17, Alina marries a prince to secure her place in the palace after her father's death. But her inability to bear a child brings cruelty from the prince's sisters and the people of the kingdom, who ultimately exile her and her younger sister.

Forced to survive, the sisters turn to underground boxing, where the young princess makes a name for herself. Their lives take a dramatic turn when an older king from the kingdom falls for the now battle-hardened princess. She reluctantly marries him, becoming queen once more, but palace life is far from peaceful.

Haunted by past secrets and new dangers, the young queen navigates complex relationships and hidden enemies. As old loves resurface and new threats emerge, she must fight for her rightful place and the love she deserves.

The grand hall of the palace stood eerily silent as Alina and Thorian returned from the beach. The echoes of their footsteps on the marble floors filled the space, and an uneasy tension lingered between them. The guards they passed bowed deeply, but Alina barely noticed. Her mind was somewhere else; on Lyra because she knew the sting of Thorian's words would still be fresh in her heart. 


A steward approached them with a quick bow, his head low. “Your Majesty,” he said to Thorian, “the kings have left. They waited as long as they could.” 


Thorian’s jaw tightened, his eyes narrowing. "Tell the messenger to send a message to Lucien and the others. Apologize on behalf of the queen for her... absence." 


The steward nodded quickly and hurried away, leaving the hall in silence once more.
