In the kingdom of Garcilia, magic is a crime punishable by death. The court runs on bloodlines, bargains, and loyalty to the crown ─ nothing more.

Asher Louvel was never meant to stand out. He's the quiet son of a decorated knight, a squire with good manners, and now ─ by royal appointment ─ the personal steward to the Crown Prince. It's an opportunity most would kill for. It's also a position that puts Asher squarely in the center of a fractured court.

The nobles are restless. The line of succession is unstable. Factions are forming behind closed doors, and the prince is under pressure to consolidate power. Serving the palace was supposed to be simple: follow orders, stay silent, survive.

But Asher has a secret. One that could destroy him if discovered ─ or be the key to everything, if he's willing to use it.

With his family's reputation on the line and rebellion stirring beneath the surface, Asher is forced to choose where he stands ─ and how far he's willing to go to protect it.
