❝My only one; my kingdom come undone.❞
The crown was never meant for him.
Five years ago, the palace declared Queen Eloriayes' death an illness.
Calyx has never believed it.
In a kingdom ruled by queens, Crown Prince Calyx stands as an anomaly: measured, watched, and bound by a trial meant to test not his strength, but his obedience.
While the court watches and the city whispers, he continues a quiet search for the truth, following the last places the queen visited before she died.
But when Khair---the knight sworn to protect him and the closest friend he has not seen in years---returns to the capital, Calyx's carefully guarded investigation begins to unravel.
Beneath the kingdom's fragile peace lies a conspiracy capable of destroying the crown itself.
And the closer Calyx comes to the truth, the more he risks losing the one person he has never allowed himself to want.
