Her Grace (Grace, Fire & Reign)

When Penn refuses to marry, her father sends her to work as a lady's maid for the king's niece. Resigned to a life of frivolous gossip and needlework, Penn is shocked when she meets the tumultuous Lady Lovetta. Together, they uncover a treasonous plot to alter the line of succession and start a war with Azor, the birthplace of Lovetta's beloved deceased mother. As unrest looms, tensions rise in the Kingdoms, and Penn and Lovetta grow closer, building a tension of their own. Penn will do anything to keep Lovetta safe from the men hunting her blood, even if that means abandoning the lives they know and never looking back.
