Summary
“You are the prince.”
At the moment of coronation, things become entangled. A thorn pressed into the hand of Hythlodaeus VI seven years ago changes the course of their history when a homunculus king and an honorable prince become linked by a single heart. To abandon him would be cowardice. Briar is no coward. He may not be able to be king, but his life can be used to bring about an era of prosperity and change. And to save the Elda he loves.
"I am the prince."
But Wilhelm rejects this sacrifice, rejects his ideals, and cuts their lives together. He has sworn to save this world with the prince, and he will not break this vow. Whatever the consequences of such a betrayal, he can face them as long as Briar lives. He will prove that his life has always been worth living and that he is so much more than his curse.
"But so are you."
A Seeker and An Observer, souls woven together. To truly claim the throne, they must clarify the past, confront the present, and forge the future. But all things are far more complex than either could imagine, especially when one royal becomes two and a parent's loving intentions spell disaster as always.
