She thought she was just a village girl—until she discovered she was born to wear a crown.

Jocelyn lived a simple life, raised by a poor family with no knowledge of her royal blood. But when her family tells her that they're not actually her family, she goes on an adventure and discovers a kingdom that was always hers—and a family ripped apart by betrayal.

Now in the halls of her birthright, Jocelyn faces fright: her father, the king, has just been murdered. Her uncle is the prime suspect… until he’s killed too.

With the castle darkened by secrets and danger lurking behind every royal smile, Jocelyn must uncover the murderer before more blood is spilled.

A crown claimed. A kingdom in peril. A throne wrapped in shadows.
