The Tale of a Prince

Crown Prince Rhylen was born to rule - but every part of him longs to escape it.
The palace is a gilded cage, admiration feels like chains, and one day he does the one thing no one expects:
He disappears.

Hidden in the darkest corner of the city, he lives a new life where no one knows his name - and where the truth could cost him everything.
But the kingdom calls for its prince, and something far more sinister grows in his absence.

As blood touches the streets and a false ruler rises, Rhylen is forced to face the question he has run from his entire life:

If you are born to the throne... can you ever truly flee it?
Or does the darkness turn you into the very thing you fear becoming?
