Description:

I was born to reclaim the crown. He was born to kill for it. Now we’re pretending to be in love.   The usurper wore my father’s crown while I counted years behind cold walls. They suppressed my magic and left me alive only because of the prophecy.   That’s when they gave me to his bastard son—Kaelus, the one they say killed his own brother. He’s cold, cruel, and the last man I should trust.   We travel the kingdom, selling the lie of peace. But behind closed doors, there’s only one bed, and far too many stolen glances.   I have a plan, and I can’t afford to be distracted. Not by the way he touches me when no one’s watching. Not by the way I want him to.   My magic is awakening. My chains are breaking. The crown is within reach.   But Kaelus carries a truth the gods never meant to reveal.   And if he turns on me, I’ll remind the realm why they used to kneel before bloodborns.
