In a kingdom ruled by power, secrets, and storm, who dares claim the throne? Prince Osh of Nept was never meant to rule. But when his father is betrayed and his sister vanishes, he is forced to rise from prince to protector-of his people, of the realm, and of a legacy that refuses to die. Across a land fractured by magic and war, allies become enemies, lovers become spies, and bloodlines are no longer sacred. Haunted by forbidden love and hunted by the brother who stole everything, Osh must master the lightning in his veins before the empire crumbles.
As war ignites across the fractured Isles, old alliances crumble and dangerous truths rise to the surface. Bloodlines no longer guarantee loyalty, and the people closest to him may be the ones who strike the hardest. Osh is hunted by the very person who once protected him-his brother, King Olo, a crown-drenched tyrant whose thirst for domination burns brighter than any star. Ruthless. Unforgiving. And willing to destroy everything Osh holds dear to stay in power. But kingdoms aren't saved by heroes-they're rebuilt by survivors. In a world where love is dangerous, power is seductive, and loyalty demands sacrifice, The Prince of Lightning must decide what kind of king he will become... and what he's willing to burn to get there.
