About This Book
The crisp autumn air carries the scent of pine and the soft rustle of silk gowns swirling under golden chandeliers. Layla’s heart races as the prince’s eyes meet hers at the grand ball, a moment sparkling with magic and promise. But beneath the shimmering surface, secrets whisper through shadows, and a mysterious sapphire holds the key to a world she never imagined, stirring feelings she can’t yet understand.
