A war plagues the livable north of Mokosh. Both dwarven and human lives lost. Trying to keep the peace a prince and his bastard friend make their way into the arms of yet another enemy. Yet the terrors of the world are not done plaguing them as they are thrust into a journey they have no business being a part of. Yet somehow a bastard, a ward, and two princes find the world's fate resting directly on their shoulders. PLEASE REFRAIN FROM ADDING THIS TO SPICY READ LISTS I don't care but you WILL be disappointed. The first book contains no physical intimacy and the following books will, but it will be closed door because these characters are CHILDREN when we are introduced to them and will not be reasonable adults until book three. If I was also a teenager there could be some room for negotiation but I am an adult and I, therefore, expect adults to consume my media so this is the end of discussion. Author's note: I know I know, I put an Author's note in here already saying I was going to try to maintain one chapter a month. But unfortunately, the fascism is getting to me, and I (very unfortunately) am under govt. contract, so it is taking me a while to get through these, while editing plus proof reading, and doing literally everything else. Your understanding and patience does not go unnoticed. I appreciate you all taking the time to read my book. It is still going, even if there hasn't been updates in months. This party of four have been living in my head over a decade they have to come out. TLDR Fascism is kicking my ass. No, I'm not dead. No I didn't give up on the book. Please hang around I will get to finishing it, but it's taking me some extra time.

He was ordered to bring her to the capital. He wasn't told he'd have to deliver her to her death. Lyana has spent her life staying small, head down, hands in the soil, past buried where no one can dig it up. But when masked men tear into her home in the night, Ravenwood burns, and the quiet life she built shatters in minutes. The man who saves her is no hero. He is the Crown's knight, sent to find her, take her, and hand her over. Kaiden is cold, controlled, and trained to obey. Then Lyana's power slips out in his hands, and he realizes the rumors are true. Lyana is not just gifted. She may be the last Soulbearer, the one the King needs to awaken the dying Queen. Awakening the Queen demands a sacrifice. Kaiden does the unthinkable. He runs with her. They are hunted by the King and the Circle, and trapped by a prophecy that insists Lyana's life is the price of salvation. Kaiden carries a secret no one can ever learn. He is a prince declared dead, and the Queen's son. If the Crown catches them, Lyana will be offered. If the Queen rises, Lyana falls.
