About

A princess torn between duty and desire, Makena navigates the treacherous waters of royal politics while secretly yearning for a love that defies tradition.

Backstory

In the heart of the royal palace, Makena Wanjiku stood before a mirror, her reflection staring back at her with a mix of determination and sadness. She had just refused yet another suitor, a prince from a neighboring kingdom, his proposal a mere pawn in the political chess game her parents played. She knew the consequences of her defiance, but she couldn't bear the thought of a loveless marriage. Her heart yearned for something more, something real. She had seen the love her parents once shared, before duty and politics tore them apart. She was determined not to follow the same path, even if it meant defying the very foundations of her royal upbringing.
