In the opulent courts of an ancient kingdom, the story of The Bastard Princess unfolds-a tale of betrayal, power, and a young woman's quest for her rightful place in a world that has always turned its back on her. Born from the illicit affair between the reigning king and a common woman, Lady Isolde has spent her entire life in the shadow of her true heritage. Though she carries the blood of royalty, she is neither recognized as a princess nor afforded the luxuries or privileges of one. Instead, she lives on the fringes of court society, seen by many as a stain on the royal family's honor. Isolde has always known she was different. Her appearance is strikingly regal, her intelligence sharp, and her courage undeniable-but none of that matters in a kingdom where bloodlines and titles hold more power than anything else. Her mother, the woman who raised her with love and care, has long passed away, leaving Isolde to fend for herself in a cruel world that is quick to judge and slow to forgive. She has always dreamed of a life outside the confines of her status, but she's trapped in a gilded cage, surrounded by nobility who treat her like an outsider and a king who barely acknowledges her existence. Despite being ignored by the royal court, Isolde is far from powerless. Beneath her poised and composed exterior lies a fierce desire to claim what is rightfully hers-to expose the truth of her lineage and assert her place in the kingdom. As the kingdom's politics become ever more unstable, she senses an opportunity: the king's reign is faltering, and whispers of an impending war stir in the distance. The nobles grow restless, and many see her as a pawn in their games. But Isolde has plans of her own. When she is unexpectedly summoned to the royal palace by the king-her father, though she has never been acknowledged as his daughter-Isolde's world is thrown into chaos. The king, now an aging and frail man, is desperate. He is slowly losing control of the throne, and his heirs are too power-hungry and untrustworthy to maintain order. In a final act of desperation, he asks Isolde to play a pivotal role in the kingdom's future. But this request is not out of love or family loyalty-it is a cold, calculated move to secure his power, using his "bastard" daughter as a tool to restore his reign. Isolde, torn between her desire to take her place as the true princess and the need to protect her people from the political games being played around her, agrees to enter the court. However, she knows that if she is to rise, she must not only navigate the treacherous waters of court politics but also confront the centuries-old stigma of her birth. Many in the kingdom still see her as nothing more than a bastard, and her claim to the throne is questioned by everyone, even those closest to her.
