Summary
Royalty AU: Installment 2 out of 2
Ava Eva Coleman, scandal-prone and ungovernable, ascends the throne as Queen with Janine Teagues branded as her Pillar—a sacred, suffocating role meant to embody loyalty and sacrifice. What begins as duty spirals into obsession, exile, and an inevitable reunion that rewrites both monarchy and tradition.
From silk ropes in the Queen’s chambers to a wedding no kingdom has ever seen, Ava claims Janine not just as her consort, but as the mother of her heirs. Their love scandalizes the Church, ignites protests, wins the people, and births a new legacy: a monarch who refuses to separate desire from power and a Pillar who becomes the foundation of an empire.
