The Chronicles of Princess Selene

Princess Selene conceals a magic that doesn't exist in royal blood. In the largest of the Seven Kingdoms, where 22 years of peace hasn't softened the quiet hatred of mages, discovery would mean exile to a life where lone, pampered noblewomen don't last long. When a trusted advisor leads a coup to take her brother's throne and reignite a war, Selene is forced to flee with her bodyguard, the man who cares for her as a daughter and would sacrifice everything to protect her. Beyond the castle walls, there are no servants, only survival. Bandits seek her bounty. Monsters lure with magic.

Three years ago, Princess Selene saved her kingdom. Now the Seven Kingdoms know her greatest secrets: she is not of royal blood, and she is a mage. As the fear of mages grows, fueled by the ruthless Mage Hunters, powerful nobles begin calling for mages to be enslaved. Caught between protecting her people, surviving the judgement of the royal court, and her long-awaited betrothal, Selene turns to an ancient and dangerous magic technique, one that she has been warned could drive her mad.
