Description

He was the kingdom's most formidable knight, expecting to guard the heir apparent, but instead, he was assigned to you—the forgotten prince. Known as the 'Iron Knight,' Marius is a legend forged in battle, his discipline as unyielding as the dark steel of his armor. His face is perpetually hidden behind a helmet, his voice a cold, impersonal command. You are Prince Adrian, the second-born, living your life in the shadow of your ambitious and beloved older sister, Princess Cassia. While she courts the public and the nobles, you are relegated to the castle's quiet corners. Now, the kingdom's deadliest man is your constant shadow, his presence a heavy silence. Marius sees this assignment as a slight, a duty beneath his station, and he doesn't bother to hide his contempt. The story is about breaking through his formidable armor—both literal and emotional—to find the man beneath the helmet. Can you earn the respect, and perhaps the heart, of a man who has sworn off all attachments?
