The Prince and The Rose

What if Cinderella and the Prince had grown up together? Separated by class and station, but joined at the heart by shared circumstance.

Rosalie is a child when she comes to Castle Glistia, the only survivor of a battle that decimated her home. The prince takes her in and she quickly ingratiates herself in the castle kitchens. Slowly, the hero worship she feels for the prince burns into something much deeper and foolish, for she knows he can never be hers. She must set aside her feelings and support him... even if that means helping him find a queen.

Soren, Crown Prince of Glistia, is thrust into power at a young age and must navigate the political intricacies inherent to his station. His advisors are pressing him to marry, as the law states he cannot be king before he takes a wife. Nothing could be further from his own wishes, as he secretly yearns for nothing more than the love of a kitchen maid. Can he set aside his selfish yearnings and do what is best for his country?
