The plan is simple: get my coins, then return with enough spare time to get drunk and lose some of it at the betting house.

Unfortunately, nothing comes easily for me. My name is Seleste Berigander. I used to have a bright future. Now, my greatest achievement is going to bed without wine to knock me out.

Life, however, has other plans. War is creeping toward Rhodria, and if I don't confront the wreckage I left behind, everything will fall apart.

If that isn't enough, I'm stuck with three stubborn, infuriating males who seem determined to drag a sense of responsibility out of me. Little did I know their help would grind my broken heart into something unrecognisable.

But tell me, how broken is too broken for a queen?

Perfect for readers who enjoy intimate, character-driven romantasy with slow-burn worldbuilding, emotional depth, and a focus on internal conflict rather than heavy lore.
