A Royal Obligation
In a realm of four kingdoms, two were on the verge of war. Prince Eirik, the fourth prince of Valeidio, a Ferre whose beauty could rival the gods, was thrust into a marriage alliance with Prince Kaelix, the strong and proud heir of Zephyros. Both princes were determined to fight against the fate that had been forced on them. Eirik resented being used as a pawn, while Kaelix saw the alliance as a threat to his freedom. As they clashed in a battle of wills, their encounters became a constant push and pull of resistance and pride. But as the pressures of duty mounted, the lines between obligation and desire began to blur. In their struggle against their forced union, they found themselves drawn toward each other in ways they never expected. Would their bond become a weapon against the war or would their kingdoms' rivalries destroy any chance of love before it could take root? --- Warning: This book contains mature themes.

The Tour
Prince Eirik and Sadiki made their way off the training ground, the sun's rays warming the palace grounds as they walked. A faint breeze stirred the trees, carrying with it the scent of jasmine from the nearby gardens. Eirik couldn't help but feel a small but significant sense of accomplishment, a subtle shift in his mood.
He had managed to turn what could have been an annoying experience into one that left an impression. And in the world like theirs, sometimes that was the best victory one could achieve.
The heat of the day was a welcome change from the chill of the early morning, and as the warmth seeped into his skin, Eirik allowed himself a moment of satisfaction. It was a rare feeling for him, an emotion usually buried under layers of caution and calculation. But here, in the vast and unfamiliar lands of Zephyros, he found himself leaning into it, relishing the fleeting sense of triumph.
