They Sent the Wrong Daughter to the Empire

Synopsis

Karolina Sanchez has never had magic, never had praise, and never had a mother — the kingdom blames her for the Duchess's death, and her sister Flora, the next saint, reminds her of it daily. So when the crown needs a noblewoman to hand over to the Malcosian Empire's bloodthirsty prince, no one hesitates over which daughter to send. But the prince who takes her hand is nothing like the monster in the rumors, and when bandits burn her carriage on the road east, Karolina kneels beside a dying knight and prays. Something answers. Back home, the crops have begun to wither.
