The Princess and the Black Butterfly
(2026)(The second book in the Princess William of the Reversed Realm series)
A novel by Leon Kageyama
He survived the Moonwell. Now the mirror wants the truth.
William Carter is no longer simply a young man from Portland trapped in a royal body. In the reversed realm of Elarion, he has become Princess William of Lumeria: a beautiful male royal, a living Moon-Vessel, and the center of dangerous claims that are becoming harder to separate from his own desires.
The Moonwell ritual should have stabilized him.
Instead, it awakens something deeper.
A voice waits in dream-glass. A black butterfly moves through mirrors and moonlight. Nyxara, the shadowed presence who once hid the original Princess from the forces that wanted to use him, returns with a warning: William’s new body remembers more than he does.
And the Linewrights know how to reach that memory.
They do not need to defeat William with armies or blades. They need to reach beneath his will, into the vessel’s inherited magic, and restore the old signature designed to make Princess William a controllable key.
To survive, William must learn the hidden architecture of his own body, confront the echo of the original Princess, and stand before the Moon-Mirror: an ancient device older than the royal bloodline itself.
But he will not face it alone.
Seraphina, the possessive crown princess, will not release what she has claimed.
Rowena, the loyal female knight, will hold him steady when his body cannot.
Morgayne, the brilliant witch-physician, understands the vessel better than anyone living.
And Nyxara, the black butterfly in the glass, may be an ally… or something far more dangerous.
As court factions tighten their schemes and old magic wakes beneath Lumeria, William must decide what it means to truly belong to this world — not as a borrowed body, not as a mistaken soul, but as himself.
Princess William of the Reversed Realm Book 2: The Princess and the Black Butterfly is a high-heat adult fantasy romance and gender role reversal isekai for readers who enjoy female-led relationships, dominant heroines, soft male protagonists, protective women, royal court intrigue, magical bonds, dangerous devotion, and lush romantic power dynamics.
Enter the Reversed Realm again — where being claimed is only the beginning.
