The Last Daughter by Marianne Chappell — book cover

About the book

I was supposed to prove I was more than the ornamental youngest daughter.

Instead, my mother gave me eight days' notice for my own wedding.

A Council-ratified alliance. A frozen mining world on the far edge of the Trade Ring. A husband with no House, no title, and no use for a Core wife.

Ronan Marshall doesn't pretend otherwise. He tells me so on our wedding night—politely, precisely: my presence satisfies the treaty, and nothing more will be asked of me.

Fine. I don't want him either.

Except he keeps making my coffee. He fixes my hard hat with his own hands. He looks at me like I'm something worth crossing a room for—and then walks away like touching me would cost him everything.

There's a lie underneath this marriage. I can feel it in every locked council session, every question he won't answer. And I'm going to find it.

But when I do, I won't just lose him. I'll lose the first home I ever chose.


Perfect for fans of Polaris Rising, Winter's Orbit, and marriage-of-convenience romance, The Last Daughter delivers a wife traded across the galaxy as the price of a treaty, an ice-planet slow burn, and a husband whose secrets could cost them everything.
