The Star Beneath the Crown

The kingdom of Averlayne was built on silence.

On secrets.

On a power no one dared to name.

Prince Louis has spent his life learning how to be small - how to bow, how to obey, how to carry the weight of a crown that never truly belonged to him. His mother's magic is gone. His father's love is distant. And the darkness rising beneath the kingdom is something no one speaks of aloud.

Until it begins to awaken.

Harry has never wanted glory. Raised by labor and sharpened by loss, he knows only how to protect - even when it costs him everything. When fate draws him into the palace and into Louis' orbit, he discovers that some bonds are older than prophecy... and far more dangerous.

As shadows gather and a forgotten power stirs, the two are forced to confront a truth neither expected:

That love may be the strongest magic of all - and the only thing capable of breaking the chains binding their world.
