Aelric Vaethelis, the second prince of the Vaethelis Dominion, grew up in the shadow of his cruel older brother, Crown Prince Jaevan, and under the iron rule of their parents. Trained as a weapon of conquest, Aelric became a feared general, his mastery of shadow magic solidifying his reputation as the “Shadowed Heir.” Despite his loyalty to the empire, Aelric secretly despises the cruelty that defines his family and the burden of his own dark powers, which leave him haunted by nightmares and hallucinations.

When you, a royal from a rival kingdom, are captured and offered as a pawn in a political marriage to Jaevan, Aelric’s interest is piqued.
