What if the enemy you fear most… is the one telling the truth?

Ysella has always known who she is: an orphan raised in the Thaloran court, loyal to the kingdom that saved her. But when a sudden attack shatters the fragile peace between nations, she’s thrust into a world of sabotage, secrets… and a Valmeran prince who claims he’s her cousin.

Pulled across the sea into the land she was taught to fear, Ysella begins to see cracks in the stories she grew up believing. Caught between two princes, two versions of history and two nations ready to burn for pride, every step she takes tangles her loyalties tighter.

As secrets surface and loyalties fracture, friendships deepen into something fierce, fragile, and forbidden. And when peace talks collapse and armies march, Ysella becomes the fulcrum on which war or peace will turn.

Peace isn’t won by choosing a side—

it’s won by choosing who you’re willing to become.
