“You didn’t slip. You were pushed. Your father didn’t drown. He was murdered.”
The note finds Prince Anden in exile, disgraced and blamed for his father’s death. For the first time in eight years, he has a reason to go home.
Returning to a kingdom in his uncle’s iron grip, his brother the king in name only, Anden uncovers a conspiracy someone has gone to a lot of effort to hide. Helping him solve the mystery is mischievous palace squire River – and Anden is falling for him in a way he isn’t ready to face.
But treason runs deeper than either of them imagined. As assassins close in and war looms on every border, Anden must risk a desperate gamble for the crown, his family, and the boy who believes in him.
The White Queen meets The Song of Achilles: Prince of Dawn is the first book in the complete Celestia trilogy: multi-POV epic fantasy with low magic, political intrigue, and a slow-burn m/m romance.
