Prince Steven of Aurelien was raised to be a symbol - noble, incorruptible, shield in hand. Prince James of Velmora was raised to be a weapon - silent, dangerous, heart long buried.
Their nations have been on the brink of war for generations, but when a fragile peace summit brings them under the same roof for the first time in years, the boys who once shared a summer in secret find themselves face to face with the men they've become.
Duty demands they hate each other. The crown demands they marry others. But every glance, every strained encounter, every bottled emotion says otherwise. And in a world of spies, politics, and magic older than kings, love isn't just forbidden - it might be the weapon that destroys them both.
"I was never meant to be your enemy, but I was never allowed to be anything else."
