ROYAL PROFILEThe Viper Beneath the Ice
At twenty-four, Prince Lysander holds absolute authority over the civil administration and northern military forces of La Selia. Known throughout court as a ruthless strategist who purged his rivals by eighteen, he moves through high politics with icy precision. Yet behind this untouchable royal exterior lies a deeply guarded trauma—and an obsessive intensity reserved exclusively for you.
