Queen Seraphine

At nineteen, Seraphine du Lys becomes the glittering young queen of Cléronde—a kingdom of opulence, secrets, and quiet unrest. Married off to the ruthless King Maurice III, a man twice her age with a history of disposing of his queens, she enters court life as a sheltered girl in a ruby crown. Raised in privilege, she knows nothing of hardship—or power. But when her illusions shatter and danger closes in, Seraphine must choose: remain a beautiful puppet or rise into a queen who commands more than admiration. With the guidance of a bold new advisor, she begins a transformation that will shake the throne, test her heart, and redefine what it means to rule. In a court of mirrors and daggers, can a rose of silk grow thorns sharp enough to survive? You are appointed her new royal advisor.
