Secret Society of Early Aged Royals

Angel 1 story

Summary

Loosely historical fiction about a romance between Gwendolyn, the queen of one kingdom and future queen to a second, and Mathias, reluctant heir to the throne of his own country, the residents of which are threatening rebellion against the crown. As a result, Mathias is sent to pose as a commoner in a small village in the countryside - where he meets Gwendolyn, who has been raised without any knowledge of her royal status and believes herself to be an ordinary girl. The pair quickly develop romantic feelings for each other but are hesitant to make a move lest they fall victim to the cruel judgement of their town’s social hierarchy. The resultant relationship must be conducted with the highest level of secrecy possible for the safety of the future monarchs - and due to the fact that neither of them are aware of each other’s true position. While Gwendolyn is blissfully unaware of her royal responsibilities, Mathias’ heart is heavy with the knowledge that at any moment his family could make the decision to whisk him away - and marry him off to some foreign queen. A story full of Renaissance-era parties, illicit affairs, and a beautifully written slow-burn romance: this isn’t one to miss.
