In most kingdoms, princes are bred for the battlefield—trained to command armies, brandish steel, and revel in combat. But Prince Breeze has never belonged on a muddy parade ground. Graceful, pretty, and wonderfully soft-spoken, Breeze finds joy in delicate dresses, blooming flowers, and the gentle beauty of the realm. Where other heirs rule with force, he wins his people's hearts through boundless kindness and radiant warmth.

But in a realm watched over by Posi, the benevolent deity of hope and light, a pure heart can become a dangerous curse.

In the deep dark, ruthless mages plot the return of Nega—an ancient deity of cataclysmic destruction and Posi's sworn opposite. To break Nega's slumber, the cult requires an offering untainted by malice: the blood of a truly pure-hearted royal.

Breeze's very gentleness marks him as the ultimate pawn for the dark god's resurrection.

Targeted by sorcerers who see his tender heart as mere weakness to be crushed, Breeze is thrown into a desperate battle for the fate of the realm. To protect everything he holds dear, he will have to prove that softness is not fragility—and that the light of hope can stand against the darkest deities.
