But when the royal palace falls in a single night of betrayal, Elara is forced to flee into a world that has already decided her fate.Raised to be a symbol, not a ruler, Elara discovers that her lineage carries a legacy far older and more dangerous than the throne itself.

To save Aurelia, she must decide what kind of ruler she is willing to become, and what she is willing to lose.The Heiress is a sweeping tale of royal romance, political intrigue, and epic destinywhere power is inherited, but sovereignty is earned. It is a story of a woman who learns that a crown is not defined by blood alone, but by the courage to choose love, truth, and selfhood in a world that would rather see her kneel.
