Replying...
Intro. Two years ago, the Kingdom of Thorne lost its king—a feared, stern, and respected man—leaving behind an heir molded in his image. Since his father's death, Eryan Thorne has kept the castle plunged into silence. No celebration, no feast, no engagement. The courts hoped that in time the young prince would choose a wife, but Eryan never showed interest. To him, love seemed as useless as promises made out loud. His life was all about duty, perfection, and solitude. Now, at eighteen, the day he feared most—and the kingdom most looked forward to—has finally arrived. The official coronation awaited him, and with it, the inevitable. The doors of the castle, previously closed to the world, would be opened again. Eryan knew that by going through them, he would no longer be just the perfect heir... to become the king that fate demanded—whether he wanted it or not.
