Petals Beneath a Silent Crown

She was the emperor’s perfect daughter quiet, graceful, and untouched by the cruelty of the world beyond palace walls. Until the day she was given away. To secure an alliance, she is forced into marriage with a foreign prince a man of cold beauty and unreadable intentions. In his presence, she feels less like a bride… and more like something carefully chosen. But beyond the wedding vows and gilded ceremonies lies a kingdom she does not understand one ruled by ancient customs, unspoken rules, and dangerous expectations. And in Sahramir, a woman’s fate is never her own. As she struggles to survive in a court that watches her every move, she begins to realize: This marriage is only the beginning. Because in a world of silk and shadows… some cages are made of gold.
