Father of Peace

Axel, the crown prince of a blood-stained throne, is the eldest son of a tyrannical king and queen. Unlike his cruel and oppressive parents, Axel possesses a kind heart and a deep sense of justice, shaped by the nurturing influence of Heath, a maid who raised him, and her son, Eden. In a kingdom where love and kindness are seen as weaknesses-and where love between two men is punishable by death-Axel finds himself drawn to Eden in a forbidden bond that could cost them both their lives.

Despite the gilded halls of the palace, Axel's family life is anything but enviable. His younger brother Lewis mirrors the cold-hearted cunning of their mother, while his sister Adelina is a reflection of their father's ruthless ambition. Only his youngest sibling, Scarlet, raised alongside him by Heath, shares his vision for a better future-a kingdom free of fear and cruelty.

Haunted by the screams of prisoners in the dungeons and the sight of a kingdom rotting under his parents' rule, Axel devises a daring plan: take the throne, and reshape the future of the realm. But the path to redemption is fraught with peril. Axel must navigate the deadly political intrigues of the court, the mounting suspicion of his siblings, and the ever-looming threat of discovery of his love for his friend.

As Axel takes increasingly bold risks, alliances will be tested, and sacrifices made. With the weight of a kingdom on his shoulders and the promise of freedom driving his every move, Axel must face the ultimate question: how far is he willing to go to dismantle the legacy of tyranny-and can he live with the cost of his own revolution?
