Due to her father's adultery, Mae was born an illegitimate princess; if you could even call her a princess, the way she was raised was far from royalty. Growing up with her "perfect" sister Isadora was a nightmare that seemed to never stop, up until the day of her sister's wedding, when the soon-to-be bride abruptly vanished, forcing Mae to take her place. The man she was set to marry didn't have the most favorable reputation, but anything was preferable to the nightmare existence she was living in.
I love this book so much, and I love how you explain your characters!
