A marriage. A crown. Sent across the border as the price of peace, Rhyne enters a foreign palace where smiles are sharper than knives and every kindness carries a debt. Her future husband has a kingdom to inherit. His court has plans for its new princess. And Rhyne is expected to endure them all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHer only certainty is Elijah-a war-hardened guard with a title he never wanted and scars that tell the story of everything he's survived. Rhyne calls him her hound. He carries her life like a promise. But in a palace that devours mercy and markets power, even loyalty can become dangerous. As coronation day approaches, old wounds between kingdoms begin to split open. Favors become threats. Whispers become rebellion. And the peace Rhyne was sacrificed to secure begins to look increasingly like a noose. Soon, obedience will no longer be enough to keep her alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRhyne must decide whether to become the queen they bargained for-or risk blood, war, and everything she has left to topple a king.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShe was traded for a crown.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShe may bring the kingdom down instead.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Barter of Crowns\u003c\/em\u003e begins a dark epic fantasy trilogy of warring kingdoms, political marriage, court intrigue, betrayal, fierce loyalty, and an achingly slow-burn bond between a princess and the guard who would bleed to keep her alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 516\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.04 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 04, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47761187733558,"sku":"9798987855669","price":38.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0754\/4569\/8614\/files\/UfrUKaOPyR9798987855669.webp?v=1789606328","url":"https:\/\/outerrealmbooksbeyond.com\/products\/the-barter-of-crowns-paperback","provider":"Outer Realm Books \u0026 Beyond","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
