The Emerald Prince of the Veiled Crown

They say the Everaine bloodline was blessed by the old gods. They are wrong. It was cursed. Zevran Everaine is the last heir to a throne hidden beyond the mortal kingdoms, where ancient magic runs beneath the earth and night never truly gives way to dawn. Born beneath an eclipsed moon, he inherited a power that royal blood was never meant to carry; an ancient magic capable of bending shadows, commanding the forgotten, and tearing open the veil between worlds. He was raised to rule. He was taught never to love. Because an Everaine who gives their heart does not simply fall in love. They become possessed by it. Zevran is beautiful in the way a drawn blade is beautiful; silver white hair, emerald eyes that seem to see far more than they should, and a composure so perfect that few ever realize how dangerous the man beneath it truly is. To his court, he is an untouchable prince. To his enemies, he is a monster wearing a crown. But when she crosses into his realm, everything Zevran has spent his life mastering begins to unravel. She is human. Forbidden, and carrying a secret capable of bringing his entire kingdom to its knees. He should send her back. Instead, he protects her. Then he chooses her. Eventually, he realizes he would rather watch his kingdom burn than allow anyone else to claim her. But there is something neither of them understands. The magic binding them together isn’t merely attraction. It is ancient. Older than his throne. Older than his bloodline. Older than the gods who cursed his family. The more Zevran gives in to her, the more the darkness inside him awakens. Enemies begin hunting her. Royal houses demand her death. Ancient creatures emerge from beneath the kingdom. Whispers spread through the court that the human girl has become the prince’s greatest weakness. They have misunderstood. She isn’t Zevran’s weakness. She is the reason he has finally decided to stop being merciful. Because there is one rule the Everaine heir has never broken: No one touches what belongs to the crown. If protecting her means declaring war against every kingdom, breaking an ancient curse, or becoming the very monster his ancestors feared; Everaine will gladly pay the price. After all... A prince may surrender his crown. A king may surrender his kingdom, but a man like Zevran Everaine will never surrender the woman who has become his entire undoing.
