Who Is The Protagonist In Silksong Hollow Knight?

The dragons and royals are at war. Dragons have power and the royals want it to cement their rule in their kingdoms. Rather than creating a bond between the two, the royals have been stealing dragon eggs, hoping they will bond with the dragon once it hatches, allowing the royal to become a dragon rider. However, there is a thief among them, someone who is stealing the dragon eggs and returning them to the dragons. Someone who, when found, will be put to death. Princess Skylar is the daughter of King Augustus. Her father has been hunting dragon eggs for years. Unbeknownst to him, Skylar is the thief that he is searching for.

What will happen when Ryuki realizes that Skylar is a royal like no other? Can Skylar keep her secret from her father, continuing to work inside the palace to take the stolen eggs back to their mothers?

The Shadow Knight is a dark fantasy novel that follows the transformation of Kaelen Dawnblade, a once honourable knight whose world is shattered when the corrupt religious Council falsely accuses his family of heresy. The story begins with Kaelen serving faithfully as a Knight-Captain in the Holy Citadel of Light. His perfect life crumbles when he's summoned to the capital, where the High Council, led by Grand Inquisitor Matthias, fabricates charges of shadow cult involvement against House Dawnblade. Despite Kaelen's protests, his family is systematically destroyed. His father executed, his sister Lyanna tortured, and his young nephew Marcus killed during "questioning." After escaping imprisonment, Kaelen discovers the true nature of the Council's corruption: they've been eliminating eastern lords who questioned their increasing taxes and power. Consumed by rage and betrayal, Kaelen encounters a mysterious merchant who guides him to the Soulstone, an ancient artifact of darkness. Through brutal trials that strip away his humanity piece by piece, he transforms into the Shadow Knight, a being of darkness with extraordinary powers. As the Shadow Knight, Kaelen begins a calculated campaign of vengeance against the Council, gathering allies among the oppressed. He discovers his new abilities allow him to destroy and heal, creating an unexpected inner conflict. Throughout his journey, he struggles with what remains of his humanity, ultimately choosing to retain his sense of justice rather than becoming a mindless force of destruction. The novel explores themes of corruption, vengeance, transformation, and the thin line between justice and revenge. As Kaelen evolves from righteous knight to shadow wielding avenger, the story questions whether one can fight monsters without becoming a monster oneself.

For thirteen years, Princess Emeriel Vaelorian has lived as a lie. Hidden beneath the identity of Crown Prince Emeric, she was forced to bury her femininity after a terrifying prophecy declared that the Blood Moon Daughter would one day awaken the Beast Throne and destroy the human kingdoms. Trained to fight instead of curtsy and ordered to suppress the strange power sleeping inside her, Emeriel survives by pretending to be someone she is not. But when the immortal Beast Clans return to claim a royal daughter as tribute, Emeriel sacrifices herself to save her younger sister and steps into the path of the most feared ruler in existence—the Beast King himself. Kaelthar Draven is not human. He is an ancient beast-born king cursed with uncontrollable rage, feared even by his own kind. For centuries, no female has survived close to him, and no bond has ever been able to tame the monster within him. Until he scents her. The moment Kaelthar realizes the “prince” standing before him is actually a legendary Siren thought to be extinct, the ancient bond between them awakens—triggering dangerous powers, forbidden desires, and a prophecy far deadlier than either kingdom realized. Now trapped in the brutal Beast Realm of Varynth, surrounded by immortal predators, political conspiracies, and creatures willing to start wars just to possess her, Emeriel must decide whether to keep running from her true identity… or embrace the power capable of changing the fate of the world itself. Because the Beast King does not intend to let his Siren go.
