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.

Queen of Two Thrones

The journey home felt longer than it should have. Lyra sat by the window of the carriage, her eyes focused on the blur of trees rushing by. Her heart weighed heavy, though she couldn’t say exactly why. Maybe it was the silence from Alina, the growing distance between them that now felt like a chasm. There had been no discussion after the king’s orders, no explanation, no shared sisterly comfort. Just silence. Cold, cutting silence. 


The carriage came to a halt, and Lyra’s breath fastened as the familiar sight of their palace greeted them. She barely waited for the gates to be opened before she stepped out, her steps quick and determined, ignoring the stiffness in her legs from the ride. She needed answers. She needed to know what had gone wrong between them. 


Alina watched as Lyra stepped out and walked away from the palace gates without looking back. It hurt that she wondered where her sister was heading with so much frustration but she couldn’t say or do anything.
