FINDING CAMELLIA GN (2025)

Camellia is taken from her mother and everything she knows at the young age of twelve, and thrust into the role of Camellius Bale, the second son of an aristocratic family. Amid all the secrets and lies, Camellia swears that one day, she will reclaim the name and life that was stolen from her!

Having secured a way into the capital, all Camellia needs is for Keiran to return in good health so that she can leave House Bale to find her mother. And so, when her brother finally comes back home, Camellia welcomes him with open arms. The last thing she expects is for him to be accompanied by a prince of a rival nation who knows her secret-and seems to be quite taken by her!

At last, Camellia has come to Louvre in search of her mother, but just as she turns the corner to her old home, she runs into none other than Duke Ihar! Though she successfully escapes before the young duke can blow her cover, she returns to her accommodations only to be met with his ever-watchful gaze. Hiding her identity is hard enough, but with Prince Ian openly vying for her affection and Duke Ihar's confusing and-at times-hostile behavior, there only seems to be a growing number of obstacles in Camellia's path to freedom. Not to mention, when officials investigating a series of assaults targeting noblewomen request Camellius's help, she is suddenly put in danger!

Despite being injured, Camellius makes it back to the manor safe and sound, much to everyone's relief. His return is soon followed by Keiran's arrival in the capital-welcome news, even if it means the Marchioness Bale is with him. Meanwhile, Lord Claude has begun to realize the extent of his feelings for Camellius, and he and Prince Ian continue to cross swords every time they meet. But as tensions between the Caian empire and Gaior rise, they are soon to learn that there is more on the line than they realize… with the stakes getting higher and Lady Marilyn's growing suspicions about Camellius's identity, will Camellia be able to keep her secret safe?

Claude, the new grand duke, heads to war to secure the northern territory for the empire. Before he leaves, however, his discovery of Camellia's true identity spurs him to leave Camellia a precious heirloom-the Clematis flower brooch, which is traditionally given to the consorts of the Ihar family. But the battlefield is a dangerous and unpredictable place... Will Claude make it safely back to Camellia's side?

With the war finally over, Duke Claude returns home victorious. Families are reunited with their loved ones, and peace finally settles over the Caian Empire, but despite this warm homecoming, Camellius is as out of place as ever. Torn between the peaceful life she'd always longed for with her mother, and a life of grandeur by Claude's side, the time for her to make a decision is approaching. But when Lady Anastasia frames her for stealing diamonds from the Imperial coffers, she must reclaim her life and her story once and for all.
