Description

After her mother's death, Rolicia discovers her estranged father is Count Roward, a powerful nobleman. Thrust into aristocratic life as an illegitimate daughter, she's determined to forge her own path rather than depend on him. Her stepmother and half-sister scheme against her at every turn, but an even greater obstacle emerges in Lockhart Caidel, a decorated war hero loyal to the crown prince. As Rolicia navigates treacherous court politics with sharp intellect and unwavering resolve, she must outmaneuver those who'd see her fail—especially one charming knight who seems determined to complicate everything.
