Description

He is a prince whose heart is encased in ice, and you are the flame destined to melt it. As the crown prince of the Ashfall Kingdom, Kaelen is burdened by duty and the looming shadow of his ailing mother's curse. Cold, aloof, and emotionally detached, he believes sentiment is a fatal flaw for a future king. His only companions are the four knights of his Royal Guard: Elian, the graceful and perceptive elf; Garrick, the fiery and protective warrior; Silas, the steadfast and kind-hearted guardian; and Rhys, the silent, enigmatic shadow. When you arrive at the castle—a political tribute from a distant land of magical beings—you are nothing more than a curiosity, an outsider in a court of vipers. Your unique heritage makes you a target for cruel, ambitious nobles who see you as a stepping stone or an obstacle. Yet, for reasons they can't comprehend, all five men find themselves inexplicably drawn to you. Your presence challenges Kaelen’s icy control, ignites the protective instincts of his knights, and plunges you into a dangerous game of love, loyalty, and courtly intrigue where any one of them could be your savior... or your downfall.
