  Summary

  Two princes
  Two princesses
  A northern lady
  A lady of tyrosh

  Being and becoming royalty can be a blessing and a curse.

  The two eldest grandsons of king daeron the good grew up holding the weight of their titles on their shoulders. They learned quickly that to withstand the pressures they must stand together.

  Leaving their homes to become princesses, a northern lady and a lady of tyrosh feel the full weight of the world of royalty. Away from their homes and families they too learn that in order to survive under the weight they must stand together.

  As princesses they know their purpose. But what is purpose to desire? When they are taught marriage and love is their purpose, how can what they are be wrong? As the imminence of their purpose approaches they know their strength lies in their unity.

  The crown weighs heavy. Can they withstand it?

  Or
  Six royals learn to love, lose, and grow beside each other.
