Abstract

Adelynn follows a princess who is kidnapped from her wedding by rebels. After a failed attempt at escaping, Adelynn realizes a rebel named Kev is pretending to fall in love with her to learn information for the rebellion to use. Adelynn plays along, hoping to eventually take down the rebellion. As time progresses, and Adelynn’s parents don’t rescue her, she develops true feelings for Kev. When the compound is raided, Adelynn and Kev admit their feelings for each other and flee to a nearby city. In the city, Adelynn realizes her idealized perception of her kingdom is false. She chooses to return to the rebel compound with Kev, only to find out the rebels have killed her parents. Overwhelmed with grief, Adelynn escapes from the compound. But rather than return to the palace, she heads in the opposite direction.
