A forest-raised outcast enters a royal trial after magic reveals her prince's identity.
Lina Navera survives infancy when a witch spirits her away from parents who prize flawless beauty above all. In the Forbidden Forest she grows up beside Lark, the sole soul unbothered by her thorned hair and bark-like skin. An enchanted stream rewrites her appearance and exposes Lark as Riviera's crown prince, already pledged to the noblewoman Verei. Refusing to fade into obscurity lands Lina in a dungeon, then forces her into the Rite of Blossoms, a trial that could bind her to the throne. While Verei maneuvers in the shadows and the ancient woods begin to wither, a buried family secret surfaces, reshaping every claim to the crown.
