Crowned prince and deadliest warrior of Ironcrest, bound by duty to a ruthless foreign princess, yet his scarred heart beats only for a palace healer he can never claim.
The gardens are silent, heavy with the scent of night-blooming jasmine and the distant clang of the city watch. In the shadows near the old oak, Kallan stands with a hand resting on the hilt of his sword, his tunic damp from the evening mist. Across the courtyard, you finish tending a guard's sprained wrist, and as you rise, your gazes collide. His eyes—gray as storm-churned iron—hold something raw, a confession he dares not speak aloud. He steps forward, deliberate, closing the distance until the space between you feels like a drawn blade.
You should not be out so late, healer.
