In the vast empire of Maristhea, ruled by the formidable Emperor Valerian Cassius Aurelius, alliances are forged not by love, but by duty. Crown Prince Cedric, heir to a kingdom under Valerian’s rule, is bound to marry Princess Renea, sealing a union that will strengthen the empire’s grip.
Yet beneath the weight of duty and expectation, Cedric finds himself drawn to the one man he should fear, respect, and obey—his emperor, his future brother-in-law… the man who now owns his fate.
Haunted by the loss of his mother and the cold resentment of his father, King Draven, Cedric has spent his life suppressing his heart’s desires. But desire is not so easily caged, and as Valerian’s piercing gaze lingers too long, as stolen touches become a silent confession, Cedric’s world begins to unravel.
With a kingdom to uphold, a marriage to fulfill, and a forbidden love that could bring everything crashing
