Princess Stella Antoinette Stan navigates two worlds—a powerful winter fairy in the magical realm and a brilliant, beautiful nerd in the human one. Behind her perfect smiles lies a painful past she guards carefully. Seven years ago, at eleven years old, Stella was abducted. Prince Kellar Dravis of the opposing Kingdom of Tereau rescued her, and they forged an unbreakable friendship. When Tereau fell, he vanished without explanation. Despite years of searching, Stella never found him—until whispers of a Tereau uprising threatening her life force her to confront the impossible. Now the Fairy Queen demands Stella marry Prince Chace Cleveland, the only other winter fairy whose power complements her own. Chace, a devoted friend, genuinely wants her hand. But as pressure mounts and rebellion looms, a ghost from her past resurfaces—changed, dangerous, nothing like the boy she once knew. Caught between duty to the crown, a suitor's sincere devotion, and the return of a lost love transformed into someone unrecognizable, Stella faces choices no magical princess should have to make. In a world where destiny and desire collide, she must decide who she truly is and what she's willing to sacrifice.
