Asha of the Borderlands

Princess Renée bears a cruel brand: a curse that names her the future killer of the king. After her father’s death, she is cast out of the palace, carrying the weight of a fate she never chose. Rescued by Eden of the border clans, she is taken into exile, far from the home that rejected her. In that unfamiliar life, Renée grows up among the border clans. There, she learns what love is for the first time—a feeling that briefly shields her from the shadow of her curse. But the past cannot stay buried. When the truth surfaces, it drags her back toward the palace and the destiny she was forced to leave behind. Now Renée must face the curse that defined her, the home that abandoned her, and the love she found in exile. Exile may have given her refuge, but the truth may demand she return—and confront the fate that waits for her there.
