Blurb - born of divinity and dust

The first captivating novel in a young adult romantasy duology following a princess who finds herself at a crossroads when pushed into an unwanted engagement. 

She's the Princess of Malité, bound by duty but also resistant to anything that stands in between her, and her crown. 

He's the Prince of Ozor, and he's the thing standing in between her, and her crown.

A marriage to bring back a kingdom is destined to fall to ruin at the hands of these two future rulers. 

Hadasa will be the first female ruler of Malité. It is a promise she believes Jah himself has embedded into her, along with the divinity in her blood that stains her eyes blue and persuades minds by bending free will.

However, threats of war from a country a sea away have gotten greater and her parents believe the best way to protect their people is to consolidate the might of two great countries through a marriage between Hadasa and Avram—heir to the Ozor throne.

Hadasa has other plans. A male heir at her side means she'll always be overlooked for him, so this engagement must end. To do this, she secretly proposes a peace agreement that involves bringing their enemy’s daughter into her home... If there's no war, there's no marriage.

But both countries are filled with unrest and danger lurks both in and out of court. Hadasa may have been naive in her plan to invite her enemy to her home but also in the belief that her feelings would not impact her resolution. Avram is not the only boy of royal blood who’s prepped to take her hand in marriage and this one might be enough to make her plans fall apart.
