Dance for the Prince

Ruby Starcrest, orphaned and despised by her stepmother, has learned to survive with grit, wit, and stolen bread. With her best friend Silas at her side, she vows never to bow to the cruelty of Camerolia’s nobles. But when Silas is caught thieving and sentenced to lose his hand, Ruby makes a reckless choice—she infiltrates the palace itself, desperate to save him. There, she collides with the last person she expected: Prince Cedric. Arrogant, entitled, and infuriating at every turn, Cedric becomes her sworn enemy. Yet the deeper Ruby ventures into palace life, the clearer the danger becomes. Beneath the glittering halls lies a nest of vipers—schemes, betrayals, and spies plotting to topple the crown. But fate is not so easily defied. The prophecy whispers that Ruby will be the one to place Cedric upon the throne. And though she loathes his pride, she begins to glimpse the truth behind the mask—the stubborn heart of a prince who may be the kingdom’s only hope. When the king’s banished brother returns with vengeance, slaughtering the royal household and seizing the throne, Ruby must choose: flee for her life, or stand beside the one boy she swore to hate. Together, Ruby and Cedric will be hunted, broken, and tested. But in the shadows of betrayal and fire, a bond forged in defiance may be the only thing strong enough to save a kingdom.
