LOGINIn the kingdom of Elyria, Crown Prince Atlas Mavros is every woman’s fantasy, devastatingly handsome, powerfully built, and destined for the throne. Ladies flock to his balls and royal dinners, desperate for a single glance from the golden prince who sets hearts racing. But Atlas has never wanted them. Not their soft curves. Not their eager touches. Until the day his carriage passes a garden and his gaze locks on Jacob, a breathtaking foreign farmer with sun-kissed skin, lean muscle, and so beautiful. One look at those strong hands of his ignites a strong desire in Atlas for the first time in his life. What starts as forbidden glances quickly spirals into secret meetings, stolen kisses that burn hotter than sin, and passionate nights where Atlas finally surrenders to the man who makes him feel alive. Jacob’s touch sets him on fire, his quiet strength becomes Atlas’s only peace, and their love grows fierce, addictive, and impossible to hide. But in Elyria, loving another man is treason. When Atlas’s jealous younger brother Gaius uncovers their affair, he unleashes a ruthless plot of blackmail, betrayal, and blood-soaked ambition to steal the crown. Torn between duty and devastating passion, Atlas must choose: the throne he was born to rule… or the farmer who now owns his heart, body, and soul. Because some desires are worth burning kingdoms for. Will Atlas risk everything for the man who awakened him or will he lose Jacob forever to the weight of a crown? Read on to find out!
View MoreAtlas paced around his chambers like a caged wolf. Every shadow on the wall looked like one of Gaius’s spies. Every distant footstep made his stomach twist.He stopped near the open balcony doors, gripping the stone railing. Jacob was out there somewhere, hurt, hunted and alone because he had dared to love a man who couldn’t protect him.“God, what have I done?” He mumured to himself.Soft voices drifted from the hallway. Two servants whispering just outside his door.“…I heard there was an illegal raid on that farmer’s cottage. Soldiers tore the place apart…”“…you mean the foreign farmer? Becareful the palace is involved. It’s about stolen royal fabric…”Atlas’s blood turned to ice. He stepped closer to the door, heart hammering, when it suddenly burst open.Phillip stumbled in, breathing hard. With a shallow cut on his cheek.“Jacob is alive,” Phillip said immediately, closing the door behind him. “But he’s hurt. We need to leave. Now.”Relief crashed through Atlas so hard his knee
Jacob walked through the village square with his head down and a basket of fresh herbs slung over his shoulder. He had barely slept after storming out of Phillip’s hut.Then he heard two women by the well reduce their voices as he passed, but not low enough.“…the palace soldiers are asking questions about the foreign farmer.”“They are investigating him, so I heard.”Jacob’s steps faltered. His blood ran cold. Why would the palace be investigating me? The answer hit him like a punch to the gut, he remembered the conversation he had overheard in the forest. Gaius blackmailing Atlas. The sketches. The three-day threat.“Is this about Gaius’s threat?” He thought.In the palace, as Prince Atlas walked through the grand hall. Servants bowed, but their eyes lingered too long. Whispers followed him like shadows. Phillip appeared at his side. He leaned in close while pretending to adjust Atlas’s cloak. “Gaius isn’t sticking to his words by waiting for the three days. He’s moving faster than
The sound of horses faded into the night, leaving only the heavy breathing of three men hidden among the trees. Atlas’s heart still hammered like war drums. Jacob’s body pressed warm against his side, tense and vibrating.Phillip wiped sweat from his brow and spoke first. “I know a place. An old hut I built years ago when the palace pressure got too much. No one knows about it. We can pass the night there and figure this mess out together.”Atlas nodded sharply. Jacob said nothing, but his fingers brushed Atlas’s wrist, more like a silent agreement. They moved like shadows through the forest, every snap of a twig making them freeze. Atlas has never felt this tense. One wrong step and Gaius wouldn’t just expose them, he would destroy them.The hut was small but solid, hidden deep in a thick grove with a stream running behind it. Phillip pushed the door open, the wood creaking softly. “I built this to hide from work when I first started. Never thought I’d bring the Crown Prince and his…
Jacob stood in the doorway of his cottage long after Atlas and Phillip had. His hands gripped the wooden frame so tightly. The warmth of Atlas’s soft kiss still lingered on his lips.He kept replaying everything, the tension in Atlas’s shoulders, the way Phillip had kept looking back like he expected arrows from the trees, the fear in Atlas eyes.“Something is wrong,” Jacob whispered to his empty house. He could feel it. He had opened his home, introduced Atlas to his family, given him every piece of himself. And still, the prince kept secrets.He couldn’t take it anymore.Jacob grabbed his dark cloak, blew out the lantern, and slipped out into the night. He ran silently along the path, following the faint sound of footsteps ahead. He needed answers and was determined to get it that night.Atlas walked beside Phillip, every muscle in his body felt heavy. The palace was still abit far from them, but the forest path felt safer that night. They had already stopped twice, their ears strai
Atlas woke before sunrise.Not because he had royal duties or anything. He woke up because of a farmer.He laid on his bed staring at the ceiling, restless.Jacob’s face kept appearing in his mind.Atlas groaned and buried his face in the pillow.“This is madness.”A prince should not be thinking
Prince Atlas had never chased anyone before.Kings chased power.Princes chased alliances.Men like him were supposed to chase crowns.Not farmers.Yet here he was at sunrise, standing in the palace courtyard like a thief about to sneak out of his own life.Philip leaned lazily against a pillar, ar
Someone screamed.The carriage door burst open.Atlas reached for the dagger hidden in his boot just as a masked man lunged inside.The blade came fast, straight for his chest.But Atlas moved in time, so the dagger grazed his sleeve instead of his heart.“Your Highness!” Philip shouted from outsid
Atlas had barely slept.The palace was quiet, but his mind was all over the place.Lady Katerina Valerius.His fiancée.The word alone felt heavy in his chest.He turned onto his side and groaned into his pillow.“Gosh…. this is a disaster.”A knock came at the door.Before he could answer, the do
