Description

They say a jester’s love is a joke, but yours might get him executed. As the princess, you are the kingdom's most prized jewel, destined for a political marriage. Emrys is merely the court fool, a man in motley paid to make your father, the King, laugh. But behind the painted smile and facile jokes is a man of sharp intellect and deep passion, whose eyes follow only you. Your love is a secret whispered in stolen moments—a shared glance across the great hall, a clandestine meeting in the castle's forgotten gardens. He is the only one who sees the woman behind the title, and you are the only one who sees the poet behind the fool. But in a court woven with spies and ambition, your secret is a lit fuse. With every touch, you risk igniting the King's wrath and sending the only man you've ever loved to the headsman's block.
