Even Exiled, She’s Still the Beloved Saint! St. Evelyn’s Weird and Wonderful Friends

She lost her fiancé, her sister, and her position as saint in one breath. Is nothing sacred anymore?! Evelyn has spent most of her life dutifully performing her role as the saint and keeping the country safe with prayers and healing magic. But everything comes crashing down when her ex-fiancé, the crown prince, exiles her and names her incompetent sister as the new saint. With no money and no practical skills to speak of, she has her work cut out for her if she wants to find her place in the world. Things start to look up after a mysterious young boy offers to help her make a living. Her experience with healing nets her a quick paycheck, and the people aren’t shy about sharing their devotion for her—she even gets proposed to! As discontent spreads over the prince’s folly and adoring fans flock to her side, Evelyn must navigate political intrigue, her newly realized fame, and unexpected romance in the air.

Or she would be—if her tutors would actually teach her anything! Instead of telling her what she’s doing wrong and helping her improve, Evelyn’s tutors all declare her perfect and leave before she has the chance to learn. Theodore doesn’t seem to understand her plight, and Kira is the only one who will be honest with her. Needing space, Evelyn decides to leave the Manilas estate for a bit to visit a nearby lake. There, she encounters someone quite unexpected—Europa’s mother and Theodore’s aunt, Duchess Mamaropa Caté. Drawn to the duchess’s elegance and kindness, Evelyn hopes to learn from her, but can she really? She feels completely out of her element. Meanwhile, back at the Manilas estate, Theodore finds a note from Evelyn explaining her absence and gets the wrong idea completely...
