In the end, which will reign: love or duty?
Crown Prince Zacharias of Belmora has spent his life preparing to become the perfect king: strategic, disciplined, and untouchable. He sacrificed warmth for wisdom, love for legacy. But now, there are whispers of overthrowing the throne, doubting whether a man so cold can ever rule with heart. Faced with a nation on edge, the king gives his son an ultimatum: win back the people within six months… or be forced to abdicate the throne.
Princess Madeline of Eryndor wants nothing to do with crowns or royal power. Her heart belongs to the quiet work of philanthropy. Beloved by her people and admired across kingdoms, she’s the perfect choice to soften Zacharias’ sharp edges. But there’s one problem: she believes the romance is real.
For Zacharias, power, legacy, and the weight of a kingdom have always come first. But Madeline is the first person who ever asked for him, not the heir. When she begins to crave the one thing he’s never learned to give, he realises his ruse may demand more than he can offer.
As Madeline brings warmth to his carefully curated world, the lines begin to blur. Every stolen moment, every intoxicating touch, every time she felt like a breath of fresh air, begins to feel too real. And Zacharias, who has sacrificed everything for the throne, finds himself caught between the crown he’s always chased and the woman he never saw coming.
He was born to rule. But can he learn to love?
