Why we recommend it
A king who needed a treaty and a woman who didn't consent to being it. Wilson writes the arranged marriage fantasy with real atmospheric weight — the political stakes are genuine, the power imbalance is structural, and the slow discovery that the arrangement has become something personal arrives at exactly the right moment.
