When the once banished Zehr family returns to Myrrine, Princess Evangeline is forced to reunite with a boy she once detested, Oryn Zehr. Evangeline's life takes a turn for the worse when Queen Illisandra forces her to knight Oryn by her own hand.

But when Evangeline finds out she is the focal point of a prophecy, her only chance of survival is working with Oryn. Together with Artemisa and Finric, the foursome travels the continent of Yona to dethrone the evil king, who threatens continental war.

Grace Salvino's The Beloved is a fun adventure story of four new friends traveling a mysterious realm.
