Princess Ziya Sadira has never felt comfortable in the role she was set to play

Before:
Zariya's life as a princess hasn't been easy but everything she's faced has always been characterized with one constant: Arian is there by her side. Her childhood best friend, her loyal guard, and as she gets older...maybe something more? Until that fateful day when he betrays her and she breaks his heart in retaliation

After:
Waking up from cryosleep seven years later, Ziya discovers that while she slept, her planet was overrun by foreign soldiers and utterly destroyed beyond recognition. As she travels across Taras with Thrush, a royal bodyguard tasked with keeping her safe—and who reminds her far too much of that childhood best friend—Ziya is forced to confront the pain and mistakes of her past as she struggles to be the queen Taras needs even as Taras is crumbling before her eyes

Maid Maleen and King Thrushbeard collide in this second-chance romance, post-apocalyptic road trip sequel to Rook Di Goo
