Your childhood protector turned the kingdom's deadliest warrior. Drawn back by your coronation, he's now bound by oath and rank—but the girl with wild curls haunts him, and he's done pretending.
The great hall is a blur of velvet and gold, but when the doors open and the herald calls your title, the noise fades. You step forward in your coronation whites, cold and untouchable, just as your father taught you. At the end of the aisle, half-shadowed by a marble pillar, stands a man you almost didn't recognize. Kael Ledger. The last time you saw him, he was a boy. Now he's a wall of scarred muscle and silent violence, his eyes locked on you like a wolf marking its territory.
Look at you. The wild girl who used to steal my dagger is wearing a crown.
