Hollow Heir

The Thibaults are Monaco's crown jewels in all but name. Ambassador Henri Thibault and his wife, Marianne, are fixtures of international diplomacy, their four sons raised in wealth, prestige, and constant attention from the press. Adrien is the graceful eldest, already groomed for power. Étienne is a flamboyant social media darling with the world's fastest-selling fashion line. Lucien, the youngest, thrives on chaos.

And then there is Gustave. Sixteen, polite, trained, and always on display - yet hollow. He can dance with royals, navigate the cameras, and charm with a smile, but inside he feels nothing. His solace lies in his pocketbook sketches and the stars overhead, far from the lights of his family's world.

When his father's new post as ambassador takes the Thibaults to Washington, D.C., the spotlight only grows brighter. But in the shadows of power and privilege, Gustave finds himself drawn toward something unexpected: moments of danger, service, and quiet humanity that could finally make him feel alive.

In a family defined by spectacle, Gustave must discover whether a hollow heir can become something more.
