Faramund, Guardian of Celeibra's prince Alcaeus, only cares about two things: keeping his prince safe and following the rules. With Alcaeus' rule in jeopardy, a bumbling mage failing at spying seems the least of his problems -- at least until the mage accidentally gets Faramund caught in his escape attempt gone wrong.
With no way back other than a truce with the offending mage Decebal, following the rules just got a lot harder.
Ex-princess Channary meanwhile wants her kingdom back from the Celeibran prince and is willing to do anything to reclaim it. Just one problem: an impostor is doing the exact same thing -- and a way better job of it.

The Prince's Gamble
When Crown Prince Alaric of Eldoria is ordered to choose a bride to secure the line, the court arranges a spectacle of trials-tests of strength, statecraft, and worth-meant to end in a tidy alliance. What no one plans for is Prince Dorian of Caerthwyn, whose quiet courage, riverborn instincts, and inconvenient honesty turn duty into a dangerous question. As suitors circle and factions sharpen their smiles, a flood exposes rot in the city's ledgers, whispers harden into sabotage, and a coded threat rises on the tide. On the eve of vows, bells break the night and Eldoria burns. In the chaos that follows, Alaric, Dorian, and a warrior-consort candidate, Nyra Ashfall, must hold the line-one with law, one with water, one with steel-while grief and politics try to pull the kingdom apart. What begins as a prince's performance becomes a fight to redesign the future: succession rewritten in daylight, power made transparent, and love asked to be more than a secret. Allies become family, a city learns to cheer for truth over rumor, and a throne discovers it can be carried by two steady hands. The Prince's Gamble is a romantic fantasy of palace intrigue and public courage-a slow-burn, M/M royal romance with a true happily-ever-after, a fierce female ally who refuses to be anyone's obstacle, and a kingdom brave enough to choose the leaders who saved it. Duty starts the story. Love finishes it.Complete
