She’s a bartender who is so over the fairy tale hype. He’s a main-character prince stuck in a literal curse.
Aren Bellamore has zero desire to play princess. She’s way too busy grinding at the Raven’s Beak, dodging annoying proposal texts, and manifest-destinying her way out of town. But after a near-death experience and a lowkey breathtaking stranger completely wreck her routine, Aren gets locked into a high-stakes agreement that changes everything.
Prince Dietan has been carrying the cursed Rings of Fate—aka ancient, extremely extra weapons—since he was a kid. The vibe is literally toxic (it’s killing him), and his haters are closing in fast. To travel and break the curse, he needs a fake fiancée to cover his tracks. Aren just wants her freedom. Playing along feels like a total win-win situation.
Except their chaotic road trip immediately devolves into political drama, literal monster attacks, and a massive enemies-to-lovers slow burn that neither of them can ignore. Now, the line between fake dating and actual destiny is getting super blurry—and two whole kingdoms are relying on a deeply cynical bartender and a doomed prince to finally risk it all.
