The Relic Prince

A royal relic has been stolen.

A coronation is hours away.

And the man guarding the truth is exactly the person Kallista has been ordered to investigate beside.

Relic investigator Kallista Eldenhart arrives in the frozen kingdom of Duskharrow carrying an impossible piece of evidence: a coronation shuttle that official records insist has never left the palace.

Someone is lying.

Kallista intends to find out who.

Raoul Veyr, Guardian of the royal archive, knows the relic is genuine. He also knows far more about what it was created to do than his oath will allow him to reveal.

Then the winter coronation begins.

The king is cut.

His wound disappears.

And ordinary people across the city begin bleeding instead.

The relic is not ceremonial.

The throne is not symbolic.

And somewhere beneath the palace, the Fate Loom is deciding who must suffer so the Crown does not have to.

Kallista's investigation exposes impossible records, hidden civic debts, missing keys, altered succession laws and a magical system capable of turning pensions, service and legal obligations into routes for royal pain.

Raoul should stop her.

Instead, he begins opening doors.

Because the deeper they investigate, the harder it becomes for him to defend the institution he has spent eleven years serving.

And there is another problem neither of them can explain.

Kallista can feel the memories and consequences trapped inside enchanted objects.

Raoul can silence magical commands at devastating physical cost.

But when their bare skin touches, both powers disappear.

Her echoes go quiet.

His oath releases him.

And the attraction already growing between them becomes impossible to dismiss as simple proximity.

Kallista refuses to become dependent on the silence he gives her.

Raoul refuses to let desire purchase her forgiveness, loyalty or future.

So when they finally choose each other, they do it knowing exactly how dangerous that choice may become. Their romance moves into explicit on-page intimacy while remaining tied to consent, trust and the freedom to walk away.

Because buried inside Duskharrow's oldest records is something even more dangerous than the Fate Loom.

A forgotten royal office.

An erased bloodline.

And evidence that the morally grey guardian helping Kallista dismantle the Crown's lies may have a claim to something he never wanted.

By the time the truth reaches the kingdom, Kallista and Raoul have chosen each other openly, but one crucial succession record has already disappeared.

And whoever stole it knows exactly what Raoul Veyr might be.
