Prince on the Run: A Dragon-Slayer Academy Romance

di Lucian Reef (Autore)

Lucian Reef, 2025

Born with a crown he never asked for, Prince Carthea Athelion has spent his entire life trapped inside palace walls, groomed for a future he cannot endure. The kingdom expects a ruler. His mother expects obedience. But Carthea dreams of something forbidden for a royal heir— to become a dragon slayer, to fight with his own hands, to shape his own life. On the night the court announces his arranged marriage, Carthea escapes the capital under a stolen cloak and a stolen name. His destination: The Citadel of Ashwind, an elite academy where warriors train to face the creatures that stalk the borders of the world. He plans to blend in, survive the trials, and finally claim his freedom. What he does not plan for is Rozan Vale. Rozan is everything Carthea is not— a disciplined fighter, a commoner with sharp instincts, and a trainee who sees through lies too easily. When Carthea stumbles into his first combat test, Rozan steps in with the kind of steady confidence that earns enemies and admirers in equal measure. Their first clash is nearly dangerous. Their second is unavoidable. Their partnership? Completely against the rules. But the Citadel tests more than strength. It tests fear. It tests loyalty. And when the academy unleashes illusions born from each trainee's deepest terror, Carthea's past bleeds into the present—dragons, fire, a father's death, and a crown he cannot outrun. Rozan senses the truth long before Carthea is ready to speak it. He sees the reflexes polished by private tutors, the hesitation of someone raised in silk, the haunted eyes of a boy carrying a secret heavier than any blade. And despite himself, Rozan becomes the one person Carthea cannot push away. As the trials grow deadlier and rival cadets turn cruel, the academy demands absolute honesty from its warriors. But Carthea's greatest strength is the one thing he cannot reveal: his name. And in a world where princes do not fight and guards do not fall for the people they protect, Carthea and Rozan are walking a line thinner than dragon-glass—one spark away from burning the life Carthea left behind… and the new one he is desperate to claim. A runaway prince. A hardened trainee. A dangerous academy where fear wears a dragon's face. An attraction neither of them is allowed to feel. PRINCE ON THE RUN begins a slow-burn romantasy filled with tension, secrets, combat training, and a connection powerful enough to defy a kingdom.
