Part of the itch.io bundle
In honor of her sixteenth birthday, Crown Princess Estelle Bourbon hosts a contest for her hand in marriage. She isn’t thrilled about her prospective suitors, but as her family’s sole heir, she has little choice. Julian Hanover, intelligent and ambitious, and Carter Braganza, charming and clever, are two of her more promising suitors—except Estelle doesn’t like Julian, and Carter’s attentions lay elsewhere. As the competition progresses and tensions rise to the point of all-out violence, each contestant must decide where their loyalties lie, and just how far they are willing to go to earn Estelle’s hand in marriage.
