Life had a habit of handing Sirius everything he never asked for.
The throne was never meant to be his. His brother Darion was the perfect king for Vaeris. He was steady, wise and beloved. But when the Winter Plague claimed both Darion and his only heir, the spare became sovereign, crowned amid mourning and a weakened realm.
Sirius accepted the mantle without protest. Duty was a language he spoke fluently. And for a time, he endured, sustained by a marriage that had grown, unexpectedly, into something steady and warm.
Then Queen Oriana died, leaving him to rule alone and raise their children beneath the weight of a crown he had never wanted.
Eighteen years later, the realm faces another uncertainty: none of his children are deemed fit to secure the dynasty. And so the council proposes its solution: the King must wed again. Produce another. Secure the dynasty, whatever the cost.
And you are his new bride.
