Sophia Nixon: The Maid Who Stole a Kingdom, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

The Maid Who Stole a Kingdom She was born to serve. Destiny chose her to rule. In a kingdom where bloodline dictates fate and loyalty is a fragile currency, Maelis has lived in the shadows-overlooked, underestimated, invisible. Just a maid. Just another face among the stone walls of the royal palace. Until one secret unravels everything. When a long-buried truth about her parentage explodes into the light, Maelis is thrust into a ruthless world she never belonged to... and can never escape. Suddenly, she is no longer a servant but the rightful heir to a crumbling empire teetering on the edge of war. And the crown that should have been hers by birth? It's surrounded by betrayal, blood, and lies. She didn't ask to be queen. But the throne remembers its true heir. With enemies circling and powerful houses vying for control, Maelis must do what she's never been allowed to do before: fight back. But power has a cost. And not everyone who once called her friend will stand beside her now. At the heart of the storm is Zarik-the man who once knew her as a servant, who saw her in her quiet strength and loved her before the world changed. But Zarik carries scars of his own, and the empire has hardened him. As war brews and fate tightens its grip, the question is no longer whether Maelis can take the throne-but whether she can keep her heart from shattering in the process. He was her first love. He may be her greatest betrayal. This is not a tale of damsels or glass slippers. This is a tale of fire-forged queens, forbidden love, and destiny rewritten. A woman who once scrubbed floors will now raise armies. A girl overlooked by the court will now decide its future. And the maid who once bowed will now demand the world rise for her. Perfect for readers who crave: Strong, determined heroines who rise against all odds Enemies-to-lovers or second-chance romance with real emotional stakes Palace intrigue, betrayal, and high-stakes power games A slow-burning love that simmers beneath the surface A heroine's transformation from humble to legendary
