Bonds: A Cursed Six novel (The Cursed Six)

Tasked with visiting a foreign kingdom to secure its prince's interest, 15 year old Princess Astrid Misseldon concocts a plan to do more than secure the male's interest - but also his hand in marriage. However, upon meeting the breathtaking Prince Tristian Hanson and acting on her own agenda, she finds herself helplessly enthralled beyond what she'd been expecting. The two soon discover neither are what they appear to be, and that their destiny awaits in forging a strange bond like they've never imagined before. A young princess born of the winterlands, troubled and slightly unhinged, wrapped in a dress spun of beautiful deceit and secret intentions. An older prince, cracked and intent on controlling her at any cost - even if it means erasing her past to pave a new, darker future.
