The Luna Trials by Marissa Gilbert

1. Northern Hospitality

this little habit since their childhood.“There must be some kind of mistake,” Zara said reassuringly, checking her iPad. She always kept herself busy.“Of course,” Savannah chuckled. “Relax, Kyle. What else could it be?”They drove into the territory, and she was finally able to see what the high stone walls were hiding.It was a castle. A real castle! Huge, dark, ancient, and gloomy. Just like in history books.Savannah couldn’t believe her own eyes. She was a princess, yes, but she used to live in modern-style mansions. This was… so not what she expected. Even though her brother told her not to expect much from the North.And she didn’t. But she didn’t expect to get into the Middle Ages either.“Not important,” she breathed out. None of this was important. She just had to find Kai. Get married to him fast and be done with it. Then maybe they could work on some kind of agreement as to how their life together would be. Surely, they could agree on monthly visits. Hopefully, yearly, after she produced him an heir. Then maybe she could find her mate, kill him and just concentrate on her child. This was a good enough plan.She and her entourage got out of their cars. And Savvy noticed a woman in a dress too luxurious and open for the ugly and cold weather they had today, walking leisurely in their direction with a much younger girl by her side. The latter had some kind of folder in her hands.But it was the first one that bothered Savannah because she knew exactly who that was.“My name is Elene,” the woman smiled, playing with her heavy golden locks. “I am the Northern Princess and the sister of King Kai.”“It’s a pleasure to meet you,” Savvy managed to curl her lips in a smile. “I am…” “I know who you are,” Elene sneered, and Savannah swallowed. Of course, she did. Elene probably knew everything about her family.
