King Arthur retelling

With adult characters, fae, plot twists, and mythical creatures like dwarves, nymphs, pixies, dryads…

Synopsis:

What her people need, or what her heart wants?

Destined to unite the war-torn kingdoms of humans and Fae, Princess Sorcha must do her duty. But her heart has other ideas.

The road to Fae-lands is long, and her Fae escort, Lord Conall, is handsome, dashing, and brave—all things a loyal knight should be. Yet no Fae wants a human queen, and more war is on the horizon. Her betrothed, High King of the Fae, has secrets of his own, and she’s not sure that he’s her destiny. But her handsome knight and her heart will have to stand aside, for the princess has a duty—her people need this alliance. Until terrible secrets are exposed and the princess must choose between upholding her duty or following her dreams.

One mistake, one wrong choice and it's not just her heart that will suffer, it's her entire kingdom…
