Meet Princess Julia Hughes, Duchess of St. Paul.

The third of King Timothy III and Queen Vera’s four daughters, Julia has been raised in the shadow of her eldest sister, Natasha, but that hasn’t stopped her from forging her own path. Whether it’s attending political events with her father, reading books to small children, being the only princess to attend college, or navigating a world of royal intrigue, Julia understands that perception is everything. Behind that desire to maintain the public’s perception of her is a drive to try and fix the broken country in which she lives.

While tension always surrounds the royal family, Julia and her second oldest sister, Alexandria, are a dynamic duo. Julia’s rebellious older sister keeps her on her toes, while she ensures Alex doesn’t take things too far. In palace life, trust is hard to come by, and the two middle sisters always have each other’s back when royal drama strikes.

One night, caught where she doesn’t belong, Julia barely escapes danger when she is saved by Ivan, a mysterious Red who open her eyes to the suffering outside the walls of the royal territory. Stuck between the safe royal world and the chaos beyond, she must decide who she can trust as everything she knows begins to change.
