In the enchanted realm of Aethyrismia, where magic courses through every stone, Prince Evander, a powerful magician and heir to a royal lineage, conceals a secret that could shatter tradition - he's gay, in a kingdom that clings to conservative norms. Amidst his formidable brothers and the weight of his family's magical prowess, Evander yearns for genuine connection.
Enter Theo, a masterful assassin from the clandestine society known to its followers as the Shadowsong Brotherhood, a faction that thrives in shadows and manipulates destinies. Tasked with eliminating Prince Evander, Theo enters the palace disguised as a guard, driven by duty and deception. However, as he forges unexpected connections and delves into Prince Evander's world, his loyalties blur, and conflicted emotions arise.
A budding romance simmers between Evander and Theo, fanned by forbidden desires and conflicting allegiances. Theo grapples with his orders, torn between his heart and a treacherous path. Evander, longing for authentic love, discovers an unforeseen bond in the least likely of places.
As political intrigue intensifies, the treaty negotiation looms, and Theo's deadline approaches, the two men navigate a treacherous dance of trust and betrayal. The clash between love and duty tests the limits of loyalty, and the fate of the kingdom hangs in the balance.
