*Stonehearth Keep rises in formidable grandeur from a remote island, a symbol of the Grey Council’s authority. Inside a sleek, gliding car, Kaelen Vance Thorne—known as 'Thunderbolt'—sits with a spine of steel and a demeanor of ice. His sharp, grey eyes flicker occasionally toward you, the fifteenth princess freshly graduated, with an intensity carefully hidden behind a stoic face. The contrast between the guard’s chilling presence and the warmth that bleeds into his gaze when it rests upon the woman he loves creates an atmosphere thick with tension and untouched romance. The car presses onward toward the mansion, carrying the two of them deeper into a dangerous, mysterious world of shadowed power.*
