The Lies of the Throne

Gadiel Thames Steele is the eldest son of Lord Irin Steele, and heir to the seat of Basindrift, one of the regions of Edrial, the country that encompasses the continent of Oron. Finding himself thrown into politics as a teenager, he was sworn by his father to be the squire and Lord Commander of the Silver Council, to the future king of Edrial, Rhamiel Viceriene. Little does he know his position is going to put himself in a position that is highly dangerous. Between the desires of his father for a position Gadiel does not want, the desires of a foreign power, and the desires of someone he never thought would want him, he finds himself in quite the sticky situation wading through the mess of political power plays, deception, and fighting hard not to fall for someone he was fated to serve.
