Villainous Girl Meets Too-Good-To-Be-True Prince Lyla has always believed herself to be both the judge and the sentencer of her actions. The prince, the opposite. Set against the fantastical backdrop of a reimagined late 1820s, a girl betrayed by those she thought she could trust crosses paths with a prince determined to set things right for his kingdom. Raised in a village of bounty hunters, Lyla has grown apart from the enchanted powers that run rampant throughout the rest of Celestiana, where the very soil is drenched in magic her homeland of Tierra not only lacks, but despises. But when she sets sail for the kingdom of Nuvves, everything she thought she knew is tested, not only about who she is, but what wielding true power truly means. The prince, fueled by guilt and willing to risk everything for his kingdom and his family, orchestrates a chance encounter with the infamous Lyla, an encounter that changes all the rules. His rules. But when bitter rivalries threaten reputations and resentful jealousies maneuver downfalls, will his crossed paths with Lyla lead to destruction or to everlasting love? A cozy epic tale between a capricious antagonist and a woeful hero-both with very little time to waste.
