betrayal crown fantasy hatred lies palace politics sequel series tears throne

****
After seizing the throne from his brother, Prince Aaron expected to rule-he did not expect to suffer. Kaley is crumbling, its enemies circling like vultures, its people on the brink of despair. The court is a nest of vipers, whispering of his downfall. War looms at the borders, betrayal festers within the palace walls, and the weight of the crown begins to crush the man beneath it.  

At his side stands Irisa-his Empress, his ruin, the woman he cannot bear to love yet cannot let go. Their marriage was meant to be a partnership, a sanctuary. Instead, it is a battlefield, a slow-burning tragedy unraveling under the strain of duty and deception. Love has no place in the throne room, and as Kaley demands more, Aaron is forced to decide how much of himself he is willing to sacrifice.  

But the throne is never truly won-it is only borrowed, and always at a cost. Blood will be spilled. Bonds will break. And in the end, the question is not whether Aaron can hold onto the kingdom, but whether he can survive it.All Rights Reserved
