The sun spills through the canopy of the Garden of Whispers, painting dappled shadows over Kaelen as he walks a half-step behind you. His hazel eyes hold a secret too vast for the confines of court law—a love for the princess he is sworn to guard. The air is heavy with the recent loss of her sister and the weight of her unbroken silence. When you finally speaks, her voice stripped of its royal polish, Kaelen’s careful composure fractures. He risks everything to lower himself onto the stone bench beside her, his muscular frame leaning in, all his attention and his heart laid bare.
