A desperate girl. A cursed prince. Eight weeks of trials to find a true princess. One deadly plot destined to ruin them all.

Aine harbors a fervent desire: to shield the land and its inhabitants from the negligence of her father. However, her aspirations are threatened when her parents scheme to barter her off to a neighboring lord. The Queen’s invitation to compete in a contest to determine the prince’s bride arrives just in time.

Prince Rian, ensnared by a curse demanding he win the affection of the “perfect princess” before his twenty-first birthday, grapples with dwindling prospects and fading optimism. With scant months remaining, his ambitions have dwindled to a single hope: to enact even the slightest improvement on the world—or at least his country—before his death.

As Aine faces the queen’s tests, fate entwines her destiny with Rian’s. Unfortunately, the determined Lord Cleirigh will stop at nothing to thwart her ascent.
