Bound Blade

Prince Rhydian has spent his life beneath the weight of a crown he never asked for. To the court, he is the future king-perfect, untouchable, and bound by duty.

To his enemies, he is something far worse.

The nobles whisper of the blood in his veins, the legacy of a mother they never accepted. Every step he takes toward the throne is watched, judged, and quietly opposed.

Only one man stands between Rhydian and the dangers of court.

Kael, his royal guard.

Silent. Unyielding. Loyal to the crown above all else.

But loyalty becomes a dangerous thing when the prince he protects begins to look at him not as a shield... but as something more.

As the kingdom turns against Rhydian and forbidden tension grows between them, Kael must choose between the oath he swore-

and the prince who is slowly breaking every one of his defenses.

In a court ruled by power, betrayal, and blood, some lines were never meant to be crossed.

But some blades were never meant to stay sheathed.
