Hansen was raised by his tenderhearted mother, without his father's vile guidance. His father abandoned his family to chase after the more corruptible things in the world, hoping to gain some peace that turmoils his soul. After training his life to be the protector of his mom and friends, the Royal Security Team sees Hansen as a potential guard for the Palace. However, Hansen's father sees it as personal gain.

By the King's humble and God-fearing reign, the kingdom of Tarsuerella has thrived and been ravishing for years. Although there is never a lack of rebellious citizens who envy or reprimand the few mistakes that rules. The unknown threats and neglected poverty throughout the country stirs a passion in Vanessa Bennet, a young girl from the United States who gets invited to the Palace and receives the one chance she has wanted most; a chance to change the world. Her fiery heart for the sick and the poor captivate and startle Prince Addison into thinking things he has never thought of before. Of opening his heart for love and a realistic partner to rule with.
A small band from the States has become rapidly popular from their new pop album. An invitation to the Royal Coronation sends the teens from Kentucky to the small country to perform before the largest audience yet. David had never dreamed of playing in front of royalty, especially not the second eldest Princess, Hope, who David has had a brief encounter with at a previous event.
Can the enemy's attacks through threatening gossip and riots from the obscure rebellion, along with a major event that will possibly change the nation of Tarsuerella forever, tear the Royal family apart? Or will the Biblical truths that have founded the country be enough to withstand the battle?
Thoughts: There were so many characters to love, I feared that I would not be able to let them all fit inside my heart, but nonetheless, they did! Each one was imperfect and had their flaws, which made them perfect to me. I loved the character development between the pages! This story was brilliantly written and thought out. Words cannot express how much this book means to me and I hope to the countless of other girls that have/or will read it as well. The focus on the Coronation was clever, and the lives that were thrown into the mix was such a well-orchestrated thing, much like what happens in our own personal lives. One of the main points in the story was that God has it under control. He places people into your life at a specific time, for a purpose. This book stirred my heart and convicted me of several things that I had not thought about before. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves a clean, and Christ-centered love story. You will laugh, cry, you might even be surprised and startled, but you will fall in love with the story and the God who it is written about from the beginning.
