Possibly her entire face. She could feel every inch of her body at once, too aware of the way her puffy gown pulled at her collarbone, the sudden flush rising up her neck, the strange, terrifying thrill that shot through her spine and made her want to run and scream and stay forever. She clutched her hands tighter. \u201cEllara, please\u2014this isn\u2019t\u2014what\u2019s happening?\u201d Ellara looked up, and her voice, gods, her voice, was rough with urgency. \u201cSelene,\u201d Ellara said, her voice low, too close.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease listen to me. This isn\u2019t a game. You\u2019re in danger.\u201d Selene stared. She couldn\u2019t help but stare. Her pupils probably looked ridiculously wide. Her ears were flushed red, she was sure. Her brain was doing things that had nothing to do with politics. Gods, her mouth was dry. \u201cI don\u2019t\u2014what\u2014\u201d Ellara leaned in slightly, just enough that her breath was soft against Selene\u2019s skin. \u201cI\u2019m not saying this to frighten you. I\u2019m saying it because I need you to hear me before it\u2019s too late.\u201d<\/p>\n

Selene swallowed. Tried to. Her throat had turned to ash. \u201cEllara, you\u2019re\u2014what are you talking about?\u201d \u201cThe Sunborn Elven kingdom,\u201d Ellara said. Her hands were still on Selene\u2019s face. Gentle. Steady. \u201cThey don\u2019t want a queen. They want access. To the canal. To your lands.\u201d Selene blinked, hard. \u201cThe\u2014what?\u201d \u201cThe sea canal,\u201d Ellara continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt runs straight through your territory. And it leads to the Moonborn mountains. That\u2019s the only way to reach the Moonborn Elven kingdom.\u201d \u201cWhat? But they\u2019re helping us with the orcs, they\u2019re\u2014\u201d \u201cLittle dove, I had a spy travel through their kingdom,\u201d she said. \u201cHe returned last night. I\u2019ve spent hours verifying what he found.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s worse than I imagined.\u201d The queen exhaled. The sound was rough. She then continued. \u201cThe Sunborn Elves are not simply arrogant isolationists, Selene. They\u2019ve been building a plan for years. Maybe longer. Aeryn\u2019s kingdom has established a hidden alliance with the orcs.\u201d Selene blinked. \u201cThat\u2019s not possible. The orcs have been\u2014\u201d \u201cThey\u2019re being used,\u201d Ellara interrupted.<\/p>\n

\u201cBought. Bound by rites, promises, and debts. The orcs don\u2019t march for glory. They march because the Sunborns are holding the leash.\u201d Selene went still. Ellara continued.<\/p>\n

OCEANOFPDF.COM S P RO LO G U E elene stood with her mouth agape at the news. The grand halls of Eld\u00f3rea\u2019s palace shimmered under the glow of chandeliers, the candlelight dancing on the princess\u2019s golden-brown skin.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat do you mean I\u2019m being married off? Why? When? To whom?\u201d Selene asked, her voice rising, green eyes wide in disbelief as she stared at her parents. The queen sighed and met her daughter’s gaze. \u201cYou\u2019re going to get married to Prince Aeryn of the Sunborn Elves,\u201d Queen Portia said, her tone clipped as if it were the most natural thing in the world. Selene\u2019s heart raced, her mind struggling to keep up.<\/p>\n

\u201cPrince Aeryn? Are you for real? You\u2019re going to marry me off to some elven prince? Sunborn Elves hate humans!\u201d She put her cutlery down and stood up, hands trembling. \u201cNo… no, no, you can\u2019t be serious. This is a joke, right?\u201d She turned to her father then, \u201cPlease, tell me it\u2019s a joke.\u201d King Ferdinand leaned forward, his voice low and commanding. \u201cIt\u2019s not a joke. The orcs have been showing signs we can\u2019t ignore. There may be a war on the horizon, and an alliance with the Sunborn elves could not only solidify our position in the region but also protect us if anything happens.<\/p>\n

This marriage will secure your future, our future. You should be honored.\u201d \u201cHonored?\u201d Selene felt a knot tighten in her throat. \u201cI\u2019ve always done my best to honor the crown, but you can\u2019t just ask me to accept this like it\u2019s not life-changing!\u201d She turned to her mother, searching her face for any trace of compassion.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease, you’re already forcing Nicolas into marriage with the Allindivean princess. Isn’t their kingdom enough of an alliance?\u201d The queen drew in a slow breath. The king closed his eyes, just for a moment, as if trying to smother his annoyance. \u201cEnough, Selene.\u201d He said, opening his eyes again, \u201cThis isn\u2019t up for debate. You will marry him, and you will do your duty.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
