[Complete] [27k] [Fantasy / Romance] Uneasy Alliance

In a rigid city-state where power is inherited, and justice is performative, Robyn has learned how to survive quietly—until she’s pulled into a political struggle that forces her into the spotlight. Caught between the ruling elite, an unstable would-be ruler, and an alliance built on necessity rather than trust, Robyn must decide how much of herself she’s willing to sacrifice to stay alive.

Uneasy Alliance is a character-driven political fantasy about power, class inequality, coercion, and love under authoritarian control.
