Why Read This?

A satisfying slow-burn romance that delivers emotional depth and swoon-worthy moments amidst political intrigue.

Synopsis

A regency-inspired romantic fantasy of courtly intrigue, forbidden love, and slow-burn devotion—told through a gripping dual POV narrative. Lord Veluar Glinfiel was never meant to leave the Queen Regent’s side. But love, when entangled with duty, demanded distance—and silence. She was not supposed to know. So he chose exile, hoping time would quiet what honour could not contain. Now, called back to court by the Queen he never stopped loving, Veluar finds the realm teetering on the edge of chaos. Their enemies lurk in the shadows, but at the vanguard stands Lord Arneyde: the kingdom’s deadliest duellist, a man who would challenge the Devil himself if it meant watching the crown crumble. He slithers through the halls of power, blackmailing the nobility into submission. Whispers of rebellion coil like serpents—and the attacks on Glinfiel himself prove the throne is no longer safe. Time is running out. As Arneyde’s schemes tighten like a noose around Lady Quindan’s reign, Veluar must outmaneuver traitors and decipher friend from foe—all while protecting the woman he vowed to serve, and the love he swore to deny. One wrong move, and the kingdom falls.
