After losing her mother and spending her life struggling to survive, Aria never imagined that a scholarship would bring her back to the capital she had learned to hate. The Royal College is a world away from everything she knows. Surrounded by wealthy students, powerful families, and four princes who command everyone's attention, Aria refuses to be impressed. She doesn't flatter them, chase them, or treat them differently because of their royal blood. Her indifference quickly catches their attention. What begins as a series of chance encounters slowly becomes friendship and something deeper. As the four princes grow curious about the mysterious scholarship girl, Aria discovers that beneath their perfect images are secrets and insecurities hidden from everyone around them. But Aria has never forgotten what the royal family took from her and her mother. She returns to the capital carrying resentment, unaware that her presence will uncover a secret buried within the palace for years. When the truth about her birth finally emerges, Aria discovers that she is not the nobody she believed herself to be. She is the forgotten daughter of the former king; the child the crown cast aside. Now a princess, Aria must face the royal family that abandoned her, those determined to silence the truth, and four princes whose feelings for her have become impossible to ignore.
