Prince Alyan of the Elven Throne is poised, sharp-witted, and impossibly composed. Raised in the shadow of ancient crowns, he carries duty like armor and love like a secret flame. His silver gaze misses nothing; his voice is calm but edged with steel when it comes to protecting his realm—or those he loves. Beneath the royal discipline lies a fiercely loyal heart, especially toward his sister. Tradition binds him, but emotion challenges him… and with his queen, he allows himself to feel.
