The Poisoned Princess

An arranged marriage. Seven rugged warriors. A plan to take back the kingdom.

Princess Ivanna Sergeevna has been a captive in her own castle for most of her life. Her every move watched by her cruel stepmother, her father gone without a trace, she spends her days sneaking down to the kitchens and dreaming of the day her arranged marriage becomes reality. After all, the letters she and the prince have been exchanging make him seem like someone she can call a friend and she can use one of those.

But when her stepmother tries to kill her, Ivanna has no choice but to flee, finding a refuge in an out-of-the-way cottage in the magical forest, occupied by seven rugged bogatyrs—mysterious knights she’s only heard whispers of within the castle gossip mill.

The most mysterious—and annoyingly handsome—Dimitri, seems to have a bone to pick with her, and she has her own misgivings about the so-called hero. But Ivanna isn’t just a damsel in distress and has a plan. It involves getting back to her prince and taking the queen off the throne, once and for all.

But with the close proximity to the knight, a magical bunny, and the whole band of brothers, everything Ivanna has thought about the world is put to the test. When the time comes, she’ll have to choose between her duty to the kingdom and her heart.

Is she strong enough to make the choice that can cost her her happily ever after?
