A Crown of Broken Glass

Objective: Survive the Night. Constraint: Do not let the King find the child. ​Octavia was a Queen of silk and silence until the moment her daughter was born. Now, silence is her only weapon. In a land where a female firstborn is considered a curse on the bloodline, Octavia has exactly one hour to disappear before the King demands to see his "son." ​She is exhausted. She is wounded. She is alone. But she is no longer a Queen—she is a mother with a knife, and she is done following the rules.
