This Bookstrings Book Club novella is proving... interesting.  Having fun with it.

Reposted from @whitecrown_publishing It's time for Reposted from @whitecrown_publishing It's time for another cover reveal!!! And we think this one is just stunning!!

The Promise of a Princess, the third and final book in the Royals of Andelar series by Joy Crain, releases November 2026 and is available for preorder now. 

👑👑👑

Princess Genevieve’s life seems like a dream. She has a loving family, a devoted fiancé, and a future set in stone. But beneath the perfection lies a secret she has guarded for years, one that could shatter everything if it were ever revealed. When an ancient doctrine resurfaces and threatens the very foundation of the monarchy, Genevieve is forced to face a choice that will cost her more than she ever imagined.

DePeaux men love for life. They only ever give their heart away once. Julian knows his father’s oft-quoted words to be true, because his heart belongs to a woman too. A woman who long ago stole his heart, captured beneath the oak tree as they painted and grew up together. But he can never have her. Because another man’s ring lies on her finger.

With time running out and the truth impossible to ignore, Genevieve and Julian are drawn together in ways that challenge everything they have ever believed. In a world bound by tradition and expectation, they must decide if love is worth the risk of losing their future, their duty, and each other.

Preorder your copy today!
