The Princess and the Knight

In a kingdom fading like fog, a lake remembers what emotion was – before the wounds, before the lies. Sir Caelan Darragh returns from war a shadow of the boy he was, only to find Princess Gwendolyn of Salveron no longer the girl who once held his hand beside the lake but a future queen, promised to Arthur of Corvallis, a prince with a smile of gold and a heart of iron. Whispers rise. Crowns shift. And on the eve of a wedding meant to save a crumbling realm, a runaway bride sparks a rebellion of the heart. But love alone cannot mend what has been broken. Unless the legend is true. Unless the lake still remembers.
