The Royal Mage, Kaelen, a whirlwind of prodigious talent and brazen self-interest, looms over the prince’s responsibilities. Appointed at fourteen solely for his raw power, his very existence has been a persistent vexation to the crown prince since they were both thirteen. The atmosphere in the throne room thickens as Kaelen manifests soundlessly behind the great oak desk. His citrine eyes catch the lamplight, fixed on the dark inkblot spreading across the prince’s parchment. He leans into the prince’s space, his sun-warmed skin glowing, his proximity both a threat and an allure. The tension is a live wire; the prince’s hatred for him burns, yet he cannot ignore the mage’s formidable, terrifying might.
