(BOOK I)
Guarded by Flames
In a kingdom where magic is forbidden and duty is law, Princess Arabella has learned to survive behind a mask of grace. When she is forced into a marriage with the dangerously charming Lord Nigel, her future seems sealed, until her royal guard, Percy Windsor, witnesses Nigel's cruelty and helps her flee.
Now hunted across hostile lands, Arabella and Percy must rely on each other to survive. But Arabella carries a secret that could cost her life: uncontrolled magic in a realm that would destroy her for it.
Percy never expected to fall for the princess he was sworn to protect, especially when she has always been part of a larger plan, one meant to end wars at an unforgivable cost.
As enemies close in and feelings deepen, loyalty and love collide. The question isn't just whether they can escape, but what they're willing to sacrifice to change their fate.
A slow-burn fantasy romance filled with forbidden magic, betrayal, and impossible choices.

The Soul Behind the Story
Katie Turney is an author from a small town in Arkansas. She discovered her love of reading at a young age, often turning to books as a way to escape and explore worlds beyond her own. That early passion eventually grew into a lifelong love of storytelling.
When she isn't writing, Katie enjoys reading, spending time with her family, and making memories with her dog. Raised in a proudly all girl family, with four sisters and five nieces, she draws strength and inspiration from the women who have shaped her life.
Writing a novel had always been a dream, but it wasn't until 2025 that Katie finally made time to pursue it. Guided by faith and determination, she pushed through moments of doubt and the temptation to quit, driven by the belief that this dream had been placed on her heart for a reason. Her perseverance is something she proudly attributes to her grandmother, who helped raise the five girls and whose strength and patience left a lasting mark on her life. Though her grandmother has since passed, Katie continues this journey in her honor, hoping to make her proud with every word she writes.
