The Obsidian Crown - Book #2 (BxB)

~ Book Two ~

In the palace of Leviel, power is a weapon, love is a secret, and every truth hides behind a mask.

Vicente has left behind the safety of the crown prince's embrace for the glittering prison of the royal court. Under Queen Lysira's command, he trains to master the magic awakening inside him; magic that could reshape the balance of the kingdom itself. To the court, he is the queen's favored apprentice, loyal and eager to serve. But beneath the surface, he remains a spy for the rebellion, and for the man he refuses to let go of.

Though Vicente and Prince Rohan must pretend their relationship has ended, their love endures in stolen glances and hidden meetings beneath the palace's marble corridors. Together, they weave a dangerous deception, feeding the queen false loyalty while plotting to expose her growing corruption. But the deeper Vicente delves into his training, the more he uncovers about his lineage and the royal blood of Aurendale that flows through his veins. The truth of who he is could change everything: the war brewing in the shadows, the fate of the throne, and the future he and Rohan dare to dream of.

As rebellion ignites and ancient powers stir, Vicente must decide what kind of man he will become: a weapon of the crown, a savior of the people, or a lover willing to risk the world to protect his heart.

Because in Leviel, even love wears a mask, and some masks are carved in blood.
