When the war ends, peace does not come. It lingers like smoke—soft, choking, impossible to forget. Thalen, the soldier who once defied his king and survived the ruin of two realms, now lives as a healer among the ashes. He has lost his title, his comrades, and the man he once loved more than life itself. The world calls him a hero. He calls himself a ghost. But fate, unkind as ever, brings him a new visitor—a foreign prince named Eiran of Vareen, sent to negotiate peace in the kingdom that once burned his own. Gentle where the fallen king was fierce, idealistic where war once demanded cruelty, Eiran sees through Thalen's silence and the sorrow behind his calm. Their meeting is not meant to be love. It begins as gratitude, soft and uncertain, between two survivors trying to remember how to breathe. Yet in quiet evenings by candlelight, in the gardens rebuilt where soldiers once bled, something fragile begins to bloom. Thalen wants to believe he can live again. Eiran wants to prove that peace can still be kind. But shadows do not vanish—they remember. The ghost of the fallen king still haunts them both, not as vengeance but as memory. His name, spoken in whispers, still divides the court. His death still demands answers. And when remnants of the old war rise again—loyalists who refuse to let the past die—Thalen must decide whether to defend the prince he has begun to love, or the kingdom that never loved him back. "You are not his shadow," the prince tells him. "Then why does my heart still kneel when I hear his name?" As the storm of politics and faith returns, love becomes a rebellion once more. Eiran stands against a council that despises him. Thalen stands against a heart that betrays him. Their bond deepens with every loss. Their peace, like all fragile things, is doomed to end. And when the prince's life is threatened, Thalen must break the only promise he ever meant to keep: never to raise his sword again. "If peace demands my life, then let love be my only sin." The Prince, the Soldier, and the Fallen King continues The Soldier and the King Saga with a tender, tragic chapter of renewal and ruin. It is a story about the mercy that follows war, the love that dares to begin again, and the haunting truth that even forgiveness cannot bring back the dead. For those who have loved and lost—and still find the strength to remember.
