Awakening in Silk
(2026)(The first book in the Princess William of the Reversed Realm series)
A novel by Leon Kageyama
He died in our world. He woke as a princess.
William Carter was a quiet young man from Portland — soft-spoken, uncertain, and convinced he was never quite enough. Then a sudden accident ends his old life… and he opens his eyes in a royal bed, inside the body of Princess William of Lumeria: a beautiful male royal who has been sleeping beneath a curse for three years.
This is Elarion, a reversed realm where women rule courts, command armies, make claims, and choose the men they protect.
Here, William’s softness is not a flaw. His beauty is not an embarrassment. His obedience, sensitivity, and grace may be the very things that make him powerful.
But the palace is not simply a place of silk, jewels, and courtly attention.
A possessive crown princess wants him as her betrothed.
A loyal female knight wants to guard him with her life.
A brilliant witch-physician knows the secret of his new body.
And beneath the palace lies the Moonwell — an ancient source of magic that responds only to a rare living key.
William is not merely wearing a royal body.
He is a Moon-Vessel.
As old factions move in the shadows and black butterflies whisper of the ‘wrong soul,’ William must learn the rules of a world built around female power, dangerous devotion, palace intrigue, magical awakening, and intensely intimate bonds.
Princess William of the Reversed Realm Book 1: Awakening in Silk is a high-heat adult fantasy romance and gender role reversal isekai for readers who enjoy female-led relationships, dominant heroines, soft male protagonists, royal court drama, magical bonds, protective women, and lush romantic power dynamics.
Enter the Reversed Realm — where being cherished can be more dangerous than being hunted.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
