the QUEEN'S ENEMY: He Swore to Destroy Her Throne. She Was Only Reason Wanted Live.: 4

What if the memories you trusted were never truly yours? What if the man you were taught to fear became the only person you could trust? Princess Aveline Roseth was born to inherit the throne of Valedorn. She knows how to command a court, carry a crown, and use her rare gift of persuasion. But when people across Eldermere begin losing pieces of their past, the kingdom descends into fear. Soldiers forget their orders. Families lose precious memories. Ancient wards begin to fail. And Aveline discovers that forbidden magic may be at the heart of it all. Her investigation leads her to the last man she should ever trust. Lucan Everhart is a disgraced former royal assassin who abandoned the crown and has every reason to despise Aveline's family. Dangerous, secretive, and fiercely independent, he wants nothing to do with royalty. Until someone comes for her. Forced into an uneasy alliance, Aveline and Lucan descend beneath the palace, where forgotten chambers hold secrets the royal family has spent years burying. The deeper they search, the more dangerous the truth becomes. Because the memory crisis is not random. Someone is rewriting the past. And now Aveline's own memories are beginning to disappear. As trust turns into something neither of them can deny, Lucan faces an impossible race against time: uncover the truth before the kingdom falls apart-and before Aveline forgets the one man she was never supposed to love. A princess. A disgraced assassin. A kingdom losing its memories. And a love that may be the one thing worth remembering. Step into Valedorn, where forbidden secrets, dangerous magic, royal intrigue, and unforgettable romance collide. THE QUEEN'S ENEMY is Book 4 of The Crown of Black Roses-a romantic fantasy of power, trust, hidden truths, and a love that refuses to be forgotten.
