The Princess: Tales of Kelnore. Royals, #1

A princess destined to do her duty, even if it costs her everything. An heir determined to prove himself before he takes the throne. A prince determined to protect his people by blood and by blade. A soldier forever tainted by impure blood with a powerful, and deadly, secret. The fate of an empire rests in the hands of more than just its emperor. When Kelnore is threatened by forces from outside and from within who wish to see the illustrious empire crumble, its defenders will come from both expected, and unexpected, places.
Bastards and princes will find themselves face to face with powerful magic they've never seen before, and even a princess will wade into treachery in order to protect the Imperial House. As darkness encroaches across the empire, will Kelnore prevail? Or will its future be one of ashes and blood?  The Princess is Book 1 in the Royals Trilogy. This Roman inspired epic romantic fantasy features a heroine with a chronic illness, an outcast soldier, ambitious princes, royal intrigue, forbidden love, hidden magic, and a low spice romance.
