Of the Beautiful and Haunted
Debut Novel
A Princess X Guard Romantasy

Princess Aza knows her duty: secure a marriage alliance or watch her kingdom suffer.
In a land ruled by heat and sand, her kingdom’s well-being depends on trade. A royal marriage is the strongest protection her people have to secure it. That should be easy, as she is known for being the most beautiful princess in the lands, but what they don't know is that she’s plagued with dark secrets that could destroy her.
Aza’s heart already belongs to someone she can never have. Jahar has sworn to guard her. He is not royal. He is older. And he is forbidden. Yet he is the standard every suitor fails to meet as she journeys across kingdoms in search of a husband.
But love isn’t the only secret she hides. Her mind is haunted by visions, voices, nightmares, and grief. If word spreads that the princess is slowly losing her mind, no alliance will be made — and her kingdom could fall.
Fearing that, despite her fallacies, something might be terribly wrong, Aza tries to uncover truths far buried and hidden without uncovering her own secrets and putting herself, her love, or her kingdom in peril.
Torn between duty and desire, will she succeed with all that is on her shoulders and on the line? Or will the secrets and truths make her lose her mind altogether?
