Her Crown,Her Queen

A cursed queen pretends to be a tyrant to secure her stepdaughter's throne.

Queen Victoria saves Princess Anna, her stepdaughter and forbidden love, with a true love's kiss that curses Victoria to die within months. To protect Anna's claim to the throne, Victoria engineers a calculated campaign of villainy: she seizes Anna's inheritance, shatters her alliances, and forces her into a political marriage. The court sees a ruthless stepmother; Anna feels only hatred. Every cruelty is a deliberate sacrifice to clear Anna's path to the crown. As Victoria dies in Anna's arms, the truth of her devotion surfaces, raising the question of whether another kiss could reverse the fatal magic.
