In a kingdom where loyalty is a vow and love is a luxury, Sir Alarion carries the weight of his father's legacy like armor. Bound by duty from the moment tragedy struck, he became the king's most trusted knight-strategist, leader, and unyielding protector. Yet in his heart, a quiet longing remains for the one who understood him long before duty claimed him.
Princess Elowen grew up beside him, sharing laughter and stolen moments, yet she knows the man he has become-a man of silence, discipline, and unbroken vows. Their connection survives in fleeting glances, unspoken words, and memories of a simpler time, even as the court whispers with envy and treachery festers in the shadows.
Amid wars, betrayal, and a kingdom teetering on the edge, love and duty collide. Some bonds cannot be severed, even when the world demands it, and some sacrifices are carved into the heart with the sharp edge of a sword.
"The Silence Worn in Armor" is a story of love restrained by honor, hearts weighed by legacy, and the quiet tragedies of those who choose duty over desire.
