Elora
Riven
I have guarded palace walls my entire life.
Stone is simple.
Duty is simple.
Elora never was.
She returns wrapped in mourning while the kingdom waits for answers I cannot give her. They see a future queen. I see the girl who learned to hide her heart between pages. And I remember far more than I should.
I thought grief would be quieter. Instead, it followed me home. The palace I once fled feels smaller now—heavy with mourning, expectation, and memories I spent years trying to forget. They look at me like I already belong to the throne.
I don't. I belong to books. To forgotten corners. To the girl I was before sorrow demanded more. But kingdoms do not wait for healing. And neither does he.
For the girls who spend their days reading stories of dragon riding, sword wielding, warrior princesses, but know that they are perfectly content spending their days among the stacks living the life of a scribe. This one is for you.

Willow Taylor writes romance for every mood. Her debut, a low‑stakes romantasy novella, blends her love of escaping into magical worlds with heartfelt journeys toward love and self‑acceptance.
As a mood reader, she plans to follow inspiration wherever it leads, writing books that offer comfort, escape, and the feeling of being seen. She has plans to continue writing and explore other genres like dark romance, romantic suspense, contemporary romance, and even sports romance.
Living with chronic illness and mental‑health challenges has shaped her belief that fiction can make people feel seen, understood, and less alone, and she brings that empathy to every page.
When she’s not writing, Willow can be found curled up with a London fog latte, listening to thunderstorms, or daydreaming about the misty hills of Scotland, especially the Isle of Skye, her favorite place in the world.
Her hope is to provide readers with: Worlds to escape into, love to lose yourself in.
