Labyrinthine (Thrones of the Forsaken #1) by CJ Holmes:
 
Every generation, the gods take their due. This time, they might take her.
 
Princess Azhara was born cursed. Marked by ancient magic. Promised to an unholy bargain sealed in blood.
 
When the Reaping begins, suitors will descend into the labyrinth beneath the palace—each one fighting to win her hand or die trying. She’s never had a choice. Not in the Reaping. Not in her future. Not even in the power buried beneath her skin. Until now.
 
The golden prince arrives with charm too slick to trust and eyes that gleam with secrets.
 
Her quiet guardian—once her only constant—has begun to keep dangerous truths from her.
 
And as the labyrinth trials unfold, Azhara realizes the maze isn’t her only trap. It’s the men. One lies. One loves. One kills. And she’s not sure which is which.
 
As suitors fall and secrets surface, Azhara must choose what’s worth saving—her kingdom, her heart, or herself.
 
Labyrinthine is a seductive, myth-woven romantasy of deadly trials, cursed bloodlines, and a love born in shadows.
