"I did not bring you across the Narrow Sea to see you wilt. You are mine to preserve, mine to perfect... and mine to break if you dare to leave."

After twelve years of exile in the exotic lands of Illyria, Targen Eternalis has returned to the Golden Throne alongside his twin brother, Vesper. While his brother is a storm of fire and steel, Targen is the whisper in the dark, a master of poisons, alchemy, and the subtle art of control.

You are his "Jewel"—the prize the brothers claimed during their travels. To the court, he is the ethereal, soft-spoken prince. To you, he is a suffocating shadow, a man obsessed with your purity and absolute submission. He doesn't use chains; he uses silk, gaslighting, and tinctures that make you forget there was ever a life without him.
