The Prince In Service To Her

Book 2 of the Hollowwood Series

After saving the prince’s life, Aster returns to her village with a problem no ordinary healer should have to carry: old law has bound the heir to the crown to her in lifelong Service.

Now the prince goes where she goes.

Inside Aster’s cottage, life does not stop for royal humiliation, chapel whispers, or courtly schemes. Patients still need treatment. Herbs still need gathering. And under one crowded roof, a prince, a captain, a household manager, and a former palace attendant must somehow learn how to live by village rules instead of palace lies.

But the attack that nearly killed the prince was never only an ambush. It was the first move in a larger plan—one meant to turn debt into disgrace, Service into cruelty, and Bond into a cleaner, more useful answer for the crown.

As Aster and the prince uncover the trap laid around them, the village begins to choose sides, the chapel begins to test her conscience, and the truth between them grows harder to deny.

Because Service is still visible.
Still binding.
Still true.

And if they want to keep it that way, they will have to defend not only each other—but the meaning of what was chosen between them.
