A Prince's Creative Muse

"More juggling lessons, Nik?"

"Only if you promise to be the fire breather, Lucy. It'll get those old nobles talking."

For Lucy Collins, the theater has always been a refuge. But nothing prepared her for the stage she's found in Belvaria: a snow-dusted kingdom yearning for a modern spark. After an eventful winter, her heart is set on creating a dazzling summer festival, one that unites the castle and its people under a banner of creativity.

But the past refuses to stay buried.

Prince Arthur carries the weight of Belvarian tradition on his shoulders, but Lucy has ignited a fire in his soul. Their whispered promises and stolen moments offer a haven from the looming responsibilities of a crown he never expected to wear. But an ancient family secret threatens to bind his nephew to a sapphire promise not of his choosing, Arthur knows this could change everything.

With a kingdom on the line and a young boy's future at stake, Lucy and Arthur must challenge the customs, the whispers, and those who would see the kingdom stay frozen in place.

Will their love be enough to ignite a new era for Belvaria, or will the shadows of the past extinguish their chance at happiness?
