    Summary

    "Since the day Stiles had reached the age where his womb could become fertile, he’s expected this duty to arrive. He knew his hand would be given to a suitor not for love, but for political security.
    Such is the way of a monarch born with a cunt between their legs."
    -----
    At sixteen, Stiles is as prepared as possible to be given away as a tool for political alliance. He's not terribly happy with the choice of destination, but he knows his duty is important to more than just himself.
    Derek is the Crown Prince of his country, but has been held back from ascending to the throne for years by his uncle, the King Regent Peter.
    Peter is doing everything within his power short of assassination to keep his hold on the crown.
    Stiles has no idea what he's walking into, entering his marriage only to be faced with suspicion, confusion, and possibly subterfuge at every angle. He must work to navigate this foreign political landscape while balancing duty, emotion, and tactical conversation at every corner. Not to mention the mysterious, fantastical tapestries that tell the story of the Hale lineage, perhaps more literally than he'd thought.
