In the gilded courts of Aethelgard, Princess Siorse is a gilded sacrifice - her hand in a marriage a political tool to forge peace and ensure her legacy. But, behind the silk and smiles, Siorse keeps a secret that can destroy the fragile alliance: her heart isn't a distant prince, it belongs to her protector Idris, the silent, muted knight who is meant to protect her from everyone - except for himself.
Idris is held to a vow of loyalty once made, but every gaze and whispered word becomes a treasonous act. Their love is fierce, a quiet fire propped behind the heavy curtains of the throne room, knowing that both of their time is almost up.
As the day of the royal betrothal approaches and the stakes become deadly, a clandestine group starts hunting for the secret vulnerabilities of the crown, and Idris finds his vow to Siorse conflicting with a darker, long-held oath. Does he break the King and risk the kingdom falling into civil war to keep the woman he loves, or does he uphold his duty, that may lead both to a lifetime of agony and separation?
The veil is prepared to be lifted. Two hearts are beating as one but only one heart can survive the breaking. The question is not if their secret will be uncovered but what awful sacrifice will be asked of them once the truth about the love Behind the Throne's Veil is unveiled.
