Prince Kiem is charming, scandal-prone, and the Imperial family’s favorite screw-up. So when a diplomatic crisis threatens to shatter the fragile peace between the Empire and a rebellious vassal planet, he’s given one job: marry the widowed Count Jainan and make the alliance look solid.
There’s just one problem—Jainan’s former husband died under suspicious circumstances, and everyone suspects he knows more than he’s saying.
Thrown together by politics, bound by duty, and stalked by conspiracies, Kiem and Jainan must navigate royal expectations, shifting loyalties, and a growing spark neither of them expected.
A Sunday Times Bestseller and Alex Award Winner, Winter’s Orbit is a swoon-worthy space opera with court intrigue, queer romance, and enough tension to ignite a supernova.
