The Courting of Kingdoms is a Lightlark meets The Selection romantasy love triangle where thirty women compete to break the curse, marry the prince, and save their kingdom.

Riversend is cursed. The ill never heal, children cannot mature, and the dead remain conscious forever in the Deadlands as their souls unravel. The balance of the world has begun to crack, days from hitting a tipping point that no one can come back from.

The prophecy is clear: the Summer Maiden can end the curse, but only if she marries Prince Reignold, second in line to the throne.

To find her, the palace summons thirty women whose lives match the signs to compete for his hand in marriage. Among them is Madeline, a quiet girl with no aspirations for royalty—until she’s pulled into a world of courtly secrets, fragile friendships, and a growing bond with not one, but two princes.

But the deeper Madeline falls, the more the lines between fate and desire begin to blur. Will her treacherous heart doom them all?
