Secret Guard

The war may have ended, but the real fight is just beginning.

As the eldest daughter of the heroes who saved their country from tyranny before her birth, Princess Emmalyn has big shoes to fill. In order to officially claim her place as heir, however, she must find a suitable husband and announce her engagement by her eighteenth birthday.

Too bad the boy she's in love with—her best friend, Cayden—is not on the approved list. Picking him would mean giving up her crown.

That turns out to be the least of her worries though.

Before she can declare her choice, a violent rebel faction invades. Emma barely manages to escape with Cayden's help, and to her horror, they're forced to leave her family behind with their biggest enemy.

Running for her life, she encounters one harsh truth after another. Secrets about her world that have been purposely kept from her.

Nothing is as it seems.
No one can be trusted.

But with the clock ticking, Emma will do whatever it takes to save her family. Even if it means working with the very people she's been taught to fear her whole life—those with magic that was outlawed at the end of the war.
