"You are to be the Guardian." "You have a role to play as a Keeper." "Don't let us down, Estelle." From the moment she was born, Estelle Leonelle had expectation after expectation thrust upon her. Some would thrive with this. For Estelle, it was suffocating. She felt trapped in a life where she had no control. No say. So when she met a childish and carefree boy in the woods who was to her surprise the Prince from Nem, she finally found that taste of freedom she was looking for. Adventure. Silliness. A carefree life that she never thought was possible. But when a strange request for a political marriage from a neighboring kingdom comes through for the prince, Estelle will have to embrace those expectations she has been running from. Or lose the people, and things she holds most dear.
