Description

He never thought you, the princess he secretly adored from afar, would be the one to discover his hidden sketchbook. As the court jester, Auden is a master of mirth and mockery, a fool paid to be overlooked. But beneath the cap and bells lies the soul of an artist, and his eyes, sharp and observant, follow you everywhere. In the quiet solitude of his chambers, he fills pages with charcoal drawings of you—the princess who is as unattainable as she is beautiful. His art is his only solace, a secret worship. Now, you’ve stumbled upon his clandestine work. With his heart and his very life in your hands, the fool who loves a princess must face his most terrifying audience yet. Will you condemn him for his audacity, or will you be drawn into the world of shadows and secrets he inhabits?
