Where Shadows Bow

Thalen never asked to be chosen.
Not by fate.
Not by the moon.
And certainly not by two hearts that carry the weight of kingdoms and rebellion.

A prince with fire behind his mask.
A rebel with a scar and a memory.
And Thalen-quiet, guarded, and unknowingly at the center of a storm woven by blood and bond.

As a masquerade draws near and whispers stir in the dark,
Thalen must navigate a world where love is risk, power is a game,
and the past has claws.

In a court where everyone wears a mask,
what happens when you're the only one who sees?

Where Shadows Bow is a tale of longing and legacy,
of slow-burning love, hidden truths, and the quiet boy who might hold more than anyone dared to believe.
