The Fall of Ashton

A fallen council. A dangerous prince. A lord too proud to admit when his heart has chosen.

Ashton has carried guilt long enough to let it harden into arrogance. His mother is dead. The Grandemere Council has fallen. Noble houses claw for control while old alliances fracture, enemies circle, and servants become weapons in political games far older than he wants to admit.

Then Raphael Traibon arrives.

A prince from the Old Continent with secrets, charm, and a blood curse he wears like another layer of silk, Raphael should be another problem Ashton knows how to handle. Instead, one meeting is enough to unravel him.

Their attraction is immediate, inconvenient, and dangerous.

Ashton knows better than to trust a beautiful man with power. Raphael knows better than to let anyone close enough to see the broken pieces beneath his royal mask. But in a court full of schemes, assassins, daemon deities, and houses waiting for weakness, desire may be the one truth neither of them can afford.

The Champion's Lord is a dark MM fantasy romance filled with political intrigue, sharp banter, dangerous attraction, courtly power games, and two men who would rather bleed than admit how badly they need each other.

Intended for mature listeners.
