Picture this: a fierce princess who's made a name for herself as the Unyielding Defender of Daliston. Astoria isn't your typical damsel—she wields magic like a weapon, taking down every high-powered wizard suitor her father parades before her. It's all to dodge an arranged marriage that could save (or doom) her kingdom from invaders.
Her father's desperate bid for an alliance leads to spectacle after spectacle of magical showdowns. Astoria thrives on the adrenaline, her sassy wit and stabby skills earning cheers across the continent. But then a ragtag street performer steps up, hiding depths of power that catch her off guard. Little does she know, victory in the duel binds her to a fate woven with secrets, enemies-to-lovers sparks, and a morally gray hero who kneels only for her.
Dueling the Suitors reimagines the Brothers Grimm's King Thrushbeard with fresh magic, mystery, and zero spice—just pure, heart-fluttering romance. Meet Astoria's telepathic animal sidekick for comic relief, her protective older brother adding family stakes, and tropes like concealed identity and 'touch her and die' intensity that keep pages turning. It's clean fantasy romance at its best, perfect for readers craving arranged marriage twists without the heat.
Grab your Kindle and lose yourself in Daliston's castles and dueling grounds. Whether you're unwinding after a long day or hunting your next clean romantasy read, this standalone from the INTO THE ENCHANTED series delivers swoon-worthy moments and happily-ever-afters.
