Hi everyone!
For the last several years, Daughters of the King has remained a free story but has now joined the Paid Stories Program at Wattpad.
You can read chapters 1-4 for free but must unlock the later chapters by paying, which helps support me and other writers on Wattpad who dedicate hours to their craft. If you're able to and interested in this story, please consider paying to help support me!
If you're unable to pay, I totally understand! You can collect coins by watching ads on Wattpad, which doesn't cost money, saving up to unlock stories. If you don't have enough coins at the moment, all my other stories are currently free.
I appreciate your support so much! <3
Lots of love,
Annika/Ilana

In a desperate bid to increase the population of the extremely fragile settlement, Louis XIV calls 500 unmarried Frenchwomen away from their homes, families, and lives to marry the French colonists of a land completely foreign to them.
They are les filles du roi: the daughters of the king.
This is their story.
