Luciel
A Dark MM Fantasy Romance.
He was sent to strike down a tyrant. Instead, he became the keeper of the crown’s deepest secret.
GAWIN CASKEY is the Shadow Blade, the cold lethal spymaster who moves unseen and leaves no survivors. But when a high-stakes assassination mission goes catastrophically wrong, Gawin finds himself dragged into the depths of the Northern Citadel, chained at the feet of his mortal enemy, Lord JOSS WAY-ER.
JOSS is a ruthless monarch built on power and unyielding control. He expects defiance from his captive. What he doesn't expect is the shocking truth uncovered during Gawin’s interrogation.
Gawin carries the Aethel-Core, a long-lost, ancient lineage trait capable of bearing life. And after a chance wild encounter months ago under false identities, he is carrying Joss’s unborn heir.
In an instant, everything changes.
The cold dungeon floor is exchanged for a gilded cage. To Joss, Gawin is no longer just a dangerous captive, he is the most precious, untouchable treasure in the entire realm. To Gawin, being cared for by his enemy is a fate worse than execution.
As court politics turn deadly and old assassins come hunting, the line between captivity and protection blurs. Gawin must navigate a treacherous game of power, bloodlines, and a terrifyingly dark devotion, before the enemy holding him prisoner claims not just his freedom, but his heart.
