In the kingdom of Emporia, love is a battlefield—and sixty women have already lost.
When Ezalyn arrives at the royal palace, her only weapon is a quiet smile and a heart full of hope. She never expected to capture the attention of Crown Prince Zhyair, nor to find herself at the center of a brutal competition where power, legacy, and betrayal intertwine.
Among courtiers who play games of shadows and silk, Ezalyn must navigate palace intrigue, ancient traditions, and a ruthless contest for the crown. But as secrets surface and alliances shift, she begins to realize that the throne isn't just a prize—it’s a burden that could cost her everything.
Will Ezalyn’s quiet strength and unshakable heart be enough to rise above the rest—or will she become just another forgotten name in the prince’s long search for a queen?
A romantic royal fantasy filled with courtly drama, fierce competition, and one woman’s journey to defy expectation and claim her place in history.

A passionate writer of fiction stories of different genres. Have always been captivated by tales of love, magic, and royal adventures, which inspired my 1st novel, Ezalyn’s Smile to Emporia Urotopia. Drawing on her love for complex characters and epic world-building, I creates stories that transport readers to magical realms filled with romance, intrigue, and unforgettable characters, etc...
When I'm not writing, I enjoy exploring books, traveling, church and spending time with my family and friends. Ezalyn’s Smile to Emporia Urotopia is just the beginning of my journey to bring more magical love stories to life.
