Elina, an ordinary baker's daughter finds herself caught in the middle of a game where the winner earns the queen's crown. They both want what they can't have as they struggle toward a seemingly impossible happily ever after.

The Queen's Trials pit princess against princess in a winner-take-all challenge to earn the crown and the chance to win King Adrian's heart. The only problem...he's already given it away to Elina and has no desire to offer it up again. When his love is offered a job in the castle and forced into the games against her will, she has no choice but to compete.

If she wins, she destines him to marry the princess forcing her to play this ridiculous role.
