Description
When King Silas Buckley's life is abruptly cut short, the kingdom is left in the ashes of his legacy-its crown heavy with the weight of a broken past. Buck, his young son, is thrust into the throne, a boy who was never meant to rule, yet now must carry the shattered dreams of a father and a people lost in despair. But shadows stir in the silence, and across the distant lands, a rival court grows restless. Maddie, the sister he once called family, now stands as an adversary, her hunger for power as sharp as a blade. With every passing moment, the rift between them widens, and Buck must decide: will he reclaim the kingdom's heart or risk losing it all-his crown, his blood, his very soul? Betrayal weaves through the court like an invisible thread, pulling at the loyalties of friends and foes alike. Eddie, his steadfast knight, remains his closest ally, but even loyalty has its limits when love and duty collide. Athena, the guardian of his heart, shields him from the storm, yet even her strength cannot prevent the kingdom from crumbling at the edges. As the truth of his father's death rises from the depths of the past, Buck faces a choice no king should ever have to make: to unite his people in the face of war, or to break them in his pursuit of justice. But no matter the path he chooses, the cost will be steep-he may save the kingdom, but can he save himself? In a world where love and power are bound by fragile threads, Buck must decide what kind of ruler he will become-and whether he can ever reconcile the prince he was meant to be with the king he is destined to be.
