He heals the dying. The kingdom calls it heresy.
When Cael Amuletos breaks the law to save a noble in the royal woods, he exposes the one thing he can’t afford to reveal: his forbidden gift for healing magic. Hunted by the law and crushed by family debts, Cael’s only way out is unthinkable: slip into the capital, survive the mage examinations, and win the right to heal in daylight.
Cael owes a life-debt to the man he saved, now revealed as a prince with secrets…and enemies. But it’s Quin, the razor-tongued scholar, who gets under his skin. Privileged, infuriating, dazzling. And the only mind that keeps pace when the tests turn lethal. He matches Cael thought for thought—and may risk his future to keep Cael alive.
THE KING’S MAN is an MM slow-burn romantasy of forbidden magic, court intrigue, perilous trials, found family, a protective prince ally, and rivals-to-lovers tension that simmers across the series: all tension, no insta-love. Book One delivers a complete adventure arc; the Cael×Quin slow burn deepens book by book toward a series-long HEA.
