Summary
When Prince Elias Eriksson dies in childbirth, the ancient pact between his family and the Swedish crown does not end with him. Within weeks, his younger brother Simon is wed and mated to Crown Prince Wilhelm, stepping into a life he never wanted but cannot refuse.
Bound by duty, shadowed by grief, and handed a child who is not his by blood but his in every way that matters, Simon enters a castle that feels more like a tomb than a home. Wilhelm remains cold, distant, and scarred by loss, touching him only out of obligation.
But duty is not love, and loneliness cannot last forever.
