Summary
Chaeyoung has faced every nightmare that crawls out of the dark. As Lieutenant of Twiceland's royal guard, she's earned her reputation as the kingdom's best sword—not through glory, but through blood, broken bones, and battles she barely survived.
So when Princess Nayeon offers her a new assignment—personal guard to her youngest sister, Princess Mina—Chaeyoung expects a quiet post. A respite from the battlefield. Maybe even boring.
She's wrong.
Mina is the youngest of three royal sisters in the twentieth generation of the bloodline. According to an ancient prophecy, she's either the kingdom's salvation or its destruction. The threats against her are growing, the shadows are moving, and someone wants her dead before anyone finds out what she's capable of.
Now Chaeyoung must protect a princess who reads poetry and drinks tea at sunset while forces she doesn't understand circle closer. But the hardest part isn't the assassins or the conspiracy.
It's the way Mina smiles when she thinks no one is watching.
