“All I desire is a husband who can sit pretty on the throne beside me and keep his mouth shut while I rule. You don’t fit the criteria, Killian. I am not looking for a warrior.” “When the men at court point their swords at your neck princess, you’ll need a warrior by your side instead of a puppet. You won’t be able to get rid of me so easily Amelia. Not when I have made up my mind to have you.” “I am not something for you to simply have Killian.” “Aren’t you? The men out there seem to be putting a good price on your future. Become my wife and I will become your weapon. I will make sure this throne belongs to you.” … Fancy tiaras and dresses never interested Amelia Blackwell, current princess of the Backwell castle. It had always been the throne in the middle of the court that caught her eyes. The throne was the only thing she ever desired but the men in her life reminded her of how it would never belong to a princess. When talks of her marriage flood the castle and news that her father wishes to make her cousin Fraser Adams his heir, Amelia takes matters into her own hands. She sets off to find her own husband and plots to take the throne. Meeting the king of the north Killian Bune doesn’t make her life any easier. Along her way she finds love, betrayal, death, envy, and more as she tries to become queen. “I promise you, this throne will belong to me.” ... The cover was done by IG r.voh.k
"Make it as grand as possible! No other king in history should have a bigger coronation than I did!" Fraser yelled to the servants hustling around the throne room.
With most of the northerners gone, Fraser jumped straight into turning the castle to his liking.
"Fraser-"
"It is your highness now," Fraser snapped at Leonard. He didn't see why he was advised not to fire the man standing behind him. Leonard was irritating and a failure of a guard. Leonard was meant to be the king's closest ally and as a guard, he was meant to keep the king alive. Leonard failed at both in Fraser's eyes.
"You are not the king yet," Leonard replied. Of all people, he did not see why this man-child was being placed on the throne. There were other boys from distant relatives they could have chosen instead of Fraser. Even Amelia was a better choice. The kingdom only needed to get rid of their dislike for women ruling.
