Ariella's biggest desire in life has always been such a simple one. She wants to be 'normal.' Unfortunately, that one simple wish has never been within her grasp. Coming from a long line of witches is bad enough, but she's even more different than the rest of her family. The fact that no one will give her any answers to why she's so different doesn't help matters. Her entire existence is shrouded in secrets that everyone around her refuses to reveal. After a family tragedy, she moves to a new town, and she gets her first chance to at least pretend to be 'normal.' For the first time, she's allowed to leave the house and go to an actual school. She makes friends, and she develops her first crush, that's quickly followed by her second. She's finally living the normal teenage life she'd dreamed of, but it doesn't last. Everything she believed about herself and the world around her is changed in an instant. Family secrets come to light one after another, turning her entire world upside down in the process. She quickly realizes that sometimes ignorance really is bliss, and maybe she didn't really want to know the answers to the questions she'd always asked, especially when one of these truths causes people close to her to turn their backs on her without hesitation. Before she can even recover from the shock, she's thrust into a war that she hadn't even known existed. Loyalties will be tested. She'll have to choose sides between all of the people she's come to care about. Will she stand with her family, her new friends, or the two boys who both hold a piece of her heart? One thing is for sure. She'll have to let go of her dream of 'normal.'

****This is book three in the Royally Series. You MUST read book one (Royally Sheltered) and book two (Royally Uncovered) FIRST before reading this. Spoilers will be in this description.**** After the tragic death of her sister, Catherine Carter is seeking revenge. Newly engaged to the Prince and heir to the throne of Alumbridge, she's ready to steal the crown and take over as ruler of the country. However, that comes with a few setbacks. While her prince is technically heir to the throne, the only way for them to accomplish nearly everything they want to is to eliminate members of the monarchy who would rebel against them and their agenda permanently. Which of course, is Catherine's new objective even if that wasn't the case. Catherine, once against violence, holds no mercy for those in power anymore. Not after Charlotte. So it's simple: Start a rebellion, murder a few people, and take the kingdom.... right? Well, not really. After the events of the last book, Catherine's group is in shambles. Almost everyone is at odds with each other, and other people in Catherine's life aren't making this transition period easy. Without a unified group, this rebellion goes nowhere, and Catherine knows this. In order to get anywhere near the crown she needs to unify her group, get her message out there to others, somehow train her and the group well enough to withstand battle, somehow help her prince step into the role he was born for, deal with familial conflicts, and of course somehow find a way to hold everything together despite being in the deepest stages of grief. Catherine is at a very sticky point. She either has to rise to the occasion and her title or end up meeting the same fate as her sister.
