THE SUN HE REFUSED TO BURN

A marriage meant to save a kingdom was never supposed to be his.
When the kingdom of Aeros agrees to a political union with the feared kingdom of merikh, the chosen bride is Princess Elira Oriel Aeros, gentle, beloved, and unprepared for the ruthless court of King Kyren Zyran Merikh.
Nevan Oriel refuses to let her go.
Though only a half-heir to the throne and long dismissed as the "golden but soft" prince, Nevan steps forward before the entire court and offers himself instead. If the Sun must kneel to Shadow, it will kneel on its own terms.
Kyren Zyran did not build his empire on emotions. Cold, disciplined, and bound by a crown laced with ancient curse, he accepts the new arrangement with sharp suspicion. The smiling prince from the Sun Court is reckless, unpredictable and dangerous in ways Kyren does not understand.
But from the moment they stand before each other, something questionable stirs.
Light does not burn Shadow.
Shadow does not devour Light.
