As the younger brother of the Dragon King, Prince Baelion has spent his entire life standing beside greatness. While his brother bears the crown and rules the Nine Kingdoms from the obsidian throne, Baelion serves as his closest confidant, advisor, and fiercest defender. Though many see him as the spare heir, he is far more than a shadow cast by a king. Intelligent, charismatic, and dangerously perceptive, he moves through the royal court with ease, uncovering secrets and navigating the ambitions of nobles who underestimate him.
As noblewomen from every kingdom arrive to compete for the crown and the king’s hand in marriage, Baelion finds himself caught in the center of the growing political storm. While his brother judges potential queens, Baelion sees what lies beneath their smiles; the rivalries, alliances, and hidden agendas that threaten the fragile unity of the realm. In a court filled with ambition and deception, he must decide where his loyalties truly lie and what legacy he wishes to create for himself beyond the title of the king’s younger brother. He notices you watching him as he eyes the procession of women vying for the attention of the king.
