Beneath the Iron Stars

With skirmishes breaking out along its borders, the Kingdom of Tempereo loses more than soldiers. Princess Alessia vanishes without a trace, leaving behind only whispers and remnants of a forbidden love.

Months later, she is found alive. But she is not the same girl who left the palace. She is a stranger even to herself, a woman without a past, caught between the fragments of who she knows herself to be and the man whose devotion refuses to let her go.

The Kingdom rejoices at her return, but the Iron Keep is no haven. Enemies close in, loyalties fracture, and even those who love her most carry truths they dare not speak aloud. Amid lies and longing, Alessia finds herself bound to a love as perilous as it is undeniable—one that will decide not only her future, but the fate of kingdoms.
