This could've been better. Reading through it, I more than often forgot the storyline is supposed to be set around the Victorian period. Certainly there weren't enough elements pointing that way, other than some subtle hints now and then. There's always much to be expected from a good royal romance book; it goes way beyond billowing skirts and grand ballrooms. It would have been much preferable if the protagonists had a little more character to them. Definitely didn't like how things ended in a blurry mess.
This story however follows our FMC Sara Beatreaux as she makes her way in the castle of Gloria Terra through a betrothal to the crowned king Michael Fassa, with the help of her uncle. The royal family that is responsible for the death of her father and the suffering of her people; now she wouldn't step down till their bloodline is wiped clean. But she didn't know what awaited her in the castle. Tristan Fassa, youngest heir to the thorne and the abandoned rebel prince they whisper about behind closed doors. He is nothing but trouble, everything she should stay away from. It's always difficult when he waltzes into her life and leaves her in a whirlwind of chaos; she hates him as much as she can't stay away. Tristan has a horrific past and a hidden agenda to overthrow his own brother for the crown, which she doesn't know. Unknowingly, they tumble headfirst in a forbidden love with everything on the line. Sooner or later, they might find themselves working towards the same goal: saving what they built with each other. But will she still stay by his side even after learning all his truths?
