Book blurb:
Freedom to Choose is Paramount for any human
An arrangement made when Elizabeth was just a babe ties her
to someone she has never met, never spoken to, never loved. Now she desires
freedom—a way to choose her own path—her own husband. The moment Elizabeth
meets Patrick she knows he is her soul mate. But when you are bound to a crown
how is any choice your own?

“I
begged him on my knees, but it was no use. Your path in life was sealed and no
human could break it asunder. All I could do was leave the sad scene, crying
miserably with you in my arms.
“Still,
I am not alone in my misery. Before they left, she murmured that she wanted
something different, but it was too late. She was as devastated as I.
“I
… could hardly bear the burden put on my shoulders by them. Oh, Elizabeth, I
tried my child, I tried to protect you and I have failed you…”
