Description

An exiled princess, a poisoned husband, and a battle for power—Eirian Soliel refuses to be forgotten, but can she turn a cold marriage into a fiery alliance before it’s too late?

First cousin to the King and the darling of the Court of Sorrow, Eirian has spent most of her life indulging all her whims and fantasies under the protection of her royal blood, but when her father’s sudden re-marriage results in a son, she finds herself suddenly shuffled aside.

On top of that, her longtime on-and-off romantic partner suddenly betrays her. Instead of proposing to her, he shows up to her birthday ball, married to a low-ranked Lady without a word of warning.

Eirian’s life is upended, and her stepmother succeeds in exiling her into an arranged marriage with a general who never leaves the distant borderland. Regimented, completely disinterested in the capitol and the Court, and dying from a poison no one can identify, her new husband would rather continue his simple life with his mistress than welcome his new wife, but Eirian refuses to go down without fight.

Determined to make a place for herself if she cannot find one, Eirian finds herself facing an enemy she never expected, and she underestimates her shy, gentle husband.

Will the General fall for his vivacious Princess, or will Eirian be set aside again?

Main relationships are F/M and M/M

    A lot can be said about the story. At times it meanders, stretching out the arcs a bit too much and the early writing can be rough and at times repetitive. But it's also a story with real potential and a cool premise and messy relationships.
    I think it's worth reading as there have been clear improvements and i find myself enjoying the story more as time goes on.

    I'm about halfway through and I am really enjoying this story. The characters are interesting as is the world. I have a little niggle about using earth place names/surnames as it throws me out of the story a bit, but I can forgive it.
    The grammar is a little rough, not the worst I've read, but not great. There are lots of run-on and fragment sentences. It needs a good edit though to tidy it up as it feels a little "stream of consciousness" in places.
    Having said that, I am enjoying it, and will continue to read what's available.
