Crown of Broken Promises

Unicorns, forbidden love, and royal intrigue? YES PLEASE! This fantasy romance prequel absolutely captivated me from page one!

When Crown Princess Gemma stumbles into enemy territory and finds herself captive to the charming Prince Laurel, she discovers that everything she's been taught about the neighboring kingdom might be built on lies. Their inexplicable connection defies generations of hostility between their realms, and as ancient magic begins to fail at the borders, threatening both kingdoms, Gemma must choose between duty and desire.

What I loved most:

• The enemies-to-lovers progression feels *earned* rather than rushed
• Gemma's bond with Cyrus the unicorn adds such a unique magical element
• The dual POV lets us see both sides of this forbidden romance
• The world-building is rich without overwhelming the story
• The tension between fate and free will kept me turning pages well past my bedtime!

This romantasy prequel perfectly sets up what promises to be an epic series while standing strong on its own. If you enjoy strong heroines, forbidden love, and fantasy worlds with unique magical systems, you need this book in your life!
