The Cornish Princess (The Goldenchild Prophecy Book 1)

Before there was a Winter King, there was a Summer Queen…She was born of prophecy, marked by magic, and fated for a love that could make—or break—a kingdom.In an age when tribes warred for dominion and legends were still being born, Gwendolyn of Cornwall entered the world bearing three gifts—or curses—from the Fae: a prophecy she cannot escape, a visage that reveals the truth hidden in men’s hearts, and hair destined to turn to gold only when shorn by true love.To kings, she is a prize. To traitors, a mirror of their corruption. And to one alone, she may be salvation—or ruin.As Britain teeters on the brink of war and her father’s strength begins to fail, Gwendolyn is offered in marriage to the proud heir of Loegria. Yet her heart belongs to another—a mysterious half-Fae warrior whose love may doom her… or awaken the prophecy she was born to fulfill.Between crown and heart, curse and desire, lies the birth of a legend.The Cornish Princess is the first installment in The Goldenchild Prophecy, a sweeping fantasy romance inspired by the historical Gwendolyn of Cornwall, standing at the threshold where myth and history collide with the birth of Britain.
