The Courting of Kingdoms is a romantasy full of betrayal, prophecy, and forbidden love-perfect for fans of Lightlark by Alex Aster and The Selection by Kiera Cass. This plot twist fantasy is a love triangle where thirty women compete to break the curse, marry the prince, and save their kingdom. Madeline was content to live a quiet life, filling her days working, reading, and playing with her neighbor's child. She wasn't happy, but she was safe. And in a kingdom like Riversend, trapped by the Ageless Blight, safety was enough. Within the palace walls, however, nothing is as it seems. A prophecy claims a commoner will marry the second-born prince and break the curse, and Madeline is chosen as one of thirty women to compete for his hand. But as she draws closer to the prince, Madeline's heart wavers toward his brother-charming, forbidden, and full of secrets. Two princes. One deadly choice. Will love save their kingdom-or doom it forever?
