About The Pearl Lottery
Centuries ago, in the kingdom of Eldenford, Queen Elenora created a daring tradition to quell rebellion: the Pearl Lottery—any man who could guess the number of pearls in the royal jar would win the princess’s hand. Now, in 1680, Princess Isabel believes the odds will shield her from such a fate—until Andrew Merrick, a rugged mariner with secrets as fathomless as the sea, speaks the winning number. Their union, meant to symbolize peace, instead unravels a web of hunger, treachery, and conspiracy that threatens the crown itself. As unrest spreads and loyalties falter, Isabel must choose between surrendering to a vow she never wanted or risking everything for a love that defies centuries of tradition. In a kingdom where one guess can ignite war, her heart may be the most perilous gamble of all.
