Gilded Vows

by Oliver Fox

Kael, a Helite knight is assigned to the princess but he never expected to fall in love with a prince.

Sent to a foreign court under orders he cannot refuse, Kael Thornmare expects danger, politics, and duty. His oath is protect the royal heir, obey without question, and never allow emotion to interfere.

But behind silks, jewels, and a flawless public image, the heir to the throne carries a truth that could fracture a kingdom.

By day, Kael stands guard over a perfect princess. By night, he begins to glimpse the person beneath the gilded mask and finds himself drawn into a secret that demands silence, loyalty, and courage. As expectations tighten and an unwanted marriage looms, Kael’s devotion shifts from crown to individual and his oath becomes something far more dangerous than duty.

In a world ruled by tradition and appearances, love is not gentle.
It is defiant.
And it may cost them everything.
