The 200-Year Bride Swap
She’s a princess. She’s a weapon. She’s the illegitimate daughter no one was supposed to need.
For millenia, peace between supernatural kingdoms has been maintained by a brutal tradition: the Bride Swap. An elven princess for a foreign king. Ten years of marriage to buy one hundred and ninety years of fragile silence.
This year, the elves must give a bride to the werewolves.
Princess Alicia Sunblade was never meant to be the chosen one. Wild, sharp-tongued, and dangerously gifted by both the goddess of war and the goddess of love, she lives in quiet exile from a father who rules with manipulation and fear. But when her king threatens the one person she loves most, Alicia is forced into an arranged marriage with Alpha Rocco Silvermane — the powerful, feared King of Wolfsreach.
Elves and werewolves are natural enemies. Their borders bleed tension. Their histories drip with blood.
Rocco is everything Alicia was raised to despise: dominant, ruthless, physically overwhelming — and politically untouchable. Yet he has his own kingdom to protect, his own factions to appease, and his own reasons for accepting the swap.
Two rulers. Two unwilling sacrifices. One treaty balanced on a knife’s edge.
But Alicia isn’t a lamb being led to slaughter. She is a strategist. A seductress blessed by divine persuasion. A warrior hiding behind silk and ceremony. If her father thinks he’s sending her away to be controlled, he may have just delivered his greatest weapon straight into enemy hands.
Because if Alicia is going to be traded… She won’t just survive the wolves. She might just make their king kneel.
