In a kingdom where loyalty is a weapon and love is treason, two enemies must decide what-and who-they're willing to betray. In the kingdom of Emmaly, loyalty is currency, and betrayal is survival. Calvin is the youngest advisor in the palace-a political prodigy with ice in his veins and secrets stitched beneath his skin. He serves Prince Ramil with ruthless precision, hiding a truth that could shatter everything. Jay is a royal guard with a radiant smile and a haunted past. Beneath his playful charm lies grief and guilt. When Princess Ava commands him to spy on Calvin, he obeys-until emotions complicate duty. But when court games turn deadly and buried pasts resurface, and an heir in the shadows threatens to burn it all, Calvin and Jay must decide: Trust is fragile. Love is forbidden. And the crown is soaked in blood. Will they betray the ones who raised them-or each other? Enemies to lovers. Royal drama. Forbidden romance. Slow burn. Secrets, scars, and stolen kisses beneath Emmaly's moonlight. This is the story behind the throne.
