Could I have some suggestions for books that feature an intimidating queen or noble lady (preferably morally grey) who ends up either (initially reluctant) good friends or in a (ideally slow burn) romantic relationship with a servant or commoner.
Basically, I want to read a book with characters that have a dynamic similar to Maleficent and Diaval in the 2014/2019 ‘Maleficent’ films. The overall plot doesn’t matter, so it doesn’t need to be a sleeping beauty retelling or anything, it’s more the character dynamics I’m interested in.
