Description

Want to kill my sister? You’ll have to go through me first. I will stop you. Even if it means I have to go back to the palace. Even if it means I have to take back the crown I left behind. Even if it means I have to face the four men I left at the altar. I will take on them and their anger. I will take on anything to save Avia. Because the kingdom needs her. The kingdom needs a good queen. Not a cursed one. Not me. If I can’t save her, then the kingdom will fall. Because I can’t rule. I’m a walking death sentence for anyone who gets too close...
