What's more attractive: a man with a handsome face, or a man who owns a library? The Crown Prince has both, but avid reader Eli prefers books over beauty, no contest!

Eli faces a horrible accusation from the girl the prince has been spending time with! Her fate rests in Christopher's hands, but will he read the truth behind this plot twist?

Eli isn't the only bookworm in her family. In fact, the bookishness of the Bernsteins is well known to the royal family — and particularly to the Crown Prince.

The Star of Sissel only visits once every three years, and Prince Christopher is determined to accompany Eli to meet this band of nomadic scholars. But mischief is afoot…

While Christopher attends to far-flung royal duties, Eli must navigate life at the palace by herself. Christopher makes it look effortless. For Eli, it's anything but easy.

Eli draws attention to herself when she comes to the defense of Lady Anna in the library. And without Christopher, she may have found herself in a ghost story.

An apparently harmless prank takes a deadly turn when Eli and Lord Irvin find themselves surrounded by unexpected enemies in the darkness of the old castle.

Eli's marriage to Christopher swiftly approaches, and she still has a lot to learn about the royal family. But will Queen Henrietta's sage advice do more harm than good?

Thoughts and emotions in turmoil, Elianna needs to speak with Christopher, but his busy schedule makes it nearly impossible to find the answers she seeks.

Lady Matilda is up to something, and an unexpected encounter with the wily woman will put Elianna's confidence and knowledge to the test.

Christopher and Elianna have withstood pressures immeasurable, but Sharon still has one more tactic up her sleeve that could tear the couple apart.
