The Knight’s Unfulfilled Dreams [MATURE]

They say there’s a thin line between love and hate…

After a long and bloody war, Prince Kaliyan claims the throne as Emperor. His most loyal shadow, Ian—once his sword, his secret, and his lover—disappears, knowing his role is finished.

Years later, word reaches Ian that his estranged brother Robin is set to be executed. With no time to spare, Ian returns to the imperial palace—not to plead, but to confront the man who betrayed him.

Fueled by vengeance and buried passion, Ian seeks retribution. But when he stands before Kaliyan again, sparks fly—and not all of them are from hatred.

Their reunion ignites a dangerous and intoxicating game of power, pain, and desire. In the imperial court, where politics are deadly and love can destroy kingdoms, can either of them survive the fire they once lit?
