In the kingdom of Eloria, loyalty is bought, betrayal is expected, and every crown sits on a throne of knives.
When the dying king whispers his final command to his bastard son, Lorian Averran is thrust into a world of blood oaths, secret lovers, and power-hungry nobles. As rival houses scheme and trueborn heirs circle like vultures, Lorian must use charm, wit, and ruthless calculation to survive.
But the crown doesn't just bring power-it brings enemies. And in a court where every smile hides a dagger, trust can cost you everything.
Power is earned. Loyalty is a lie. And bastards don't stay quiet forever.
