Lucien hides god-tier magic behind a playboy mask. Kael has seen his power, but can Lucien survive the arena and his family's betrayal?
Five years after one faithful night, on the brink of losing her pack, the Wolf Queen manages to track down the father of her child, not realizing he's secretly The Archmage and the key to saving her and her pack.Lucien Valewyn, younger son of Duke Garrick Valewyn, is the capital's infamous spendthrift. His stepmother, Lady Morgana Lysandre, poisoned his mother and raised him to be a useless waste so her own son, Roland, would inherit the title. Lucien knows the truth and waits to avenge his mother.
The Aurellian Empire faces a Northern threat. The strongest mages from three Barbarian tribes have already reached the capital, and King Aldric announces a magic arena to choose a husband for Princess Isolde. When a Northern rogue attacks women in the street, a mysterious god-tier spell vaporizes him. Kael Ironvow, the First Mage, senses a power on par with his own—or the Rose Knight.
Kael tests the noble heirs. Cedric Ravenscar, son of Lord Septimus Ravenscar, disappoints. Roland Valewyn shows skill. Then Kael tests Lucien, expecting trash. Lucien defeats him without effort, even after Kael boosts his magic tenfold. Kael reports to the king: "I even boosted my magic tenfold and still couldn't beat him." The king orders every standout heir into the arena.
Duke Valewyn receives the royal decree: both his sons must compete. Roland promises not to disappoint his father. Lucien refuses, but his father threatens to break his legs if he crosses the king. Lucien finds it boring and dangerous, and decides to see how it goes.
The arena will decide the princess's husband. Lucien's hidden power, his stepmother's schemes, and the Northern threat are about to collide.
