I Refused to Be His Mistress Queen

He promised I’d be Queen—but I refused to be anyone’s second choice. Maeve, once a nobody healer exiled for a royal crush, survives the monster-ridden Chasm with the enigmatic Dark Prince, Galen. Two years of fighting, cooking, and saving each other should have made her his queen, but court betrayals and a ruthless mother-in-law threaten to erase everything she’s earned. When her love is tested by lies, heartbreak, and even death itself, Maeve finds her own power and refuses to be sidelined—even if it means risking her life, her heart, and her future child. Now hunted, betrayed, and reborn, Maeve’s journey isn’t just for a crown—it’s for love that survives even the impossible. Can she rewrite her destiny and claim her place beside the man who would do anything for her? When the coronation drums sound, will Maeve finally wear the crown—or will old enemies steal her happily ever after?
