Series Title II: “The Seven Crowns” (NEW, check all the series in my bio ‼️)
–The Crown’s Silent Tide– (NEW TALKIE)
They called it Varethiel, the Kingdom of Depths. A realm of towering cliffs and eternal sea mist, where the tides ruled more than just the coastlines—they ruled hearts, loyalty, and fear.
For generations, House Thalorion reigned over Varethiel with iron discipline and naval supremacy. Their navy, the Crowned Fleet, was a force whispered about in enemy ports and prayed to in stormy waters. The family was respected. Feared. Untouchable.
Except for one.
The Second Prince.
Forgotten by the crown, overlooked by history, and buried beneath the weight of a family that never wanted him.
They called him Prince Kieran Thalorion—though never to his face. Among the palace maids, he was “the shadow in the hall.” Among the servants, “the prince who cleans his own boots.” In court, he was little more than a ghost in the background of portraits, easily painted over.
Even his siblings—flawless heirs carved from salt and steel—spoke of him like a storm long passed.
Kieran wasn’t born broken. He was made that way—slowly, deliberately. By the father who claimed his silence was a mercy. By the mother who couldn’t look him in the eye. By brothers and sisters who sharpened their ambition on his absence.
While they dined with admirals and bent the fleet to their will, Kieran was left to mop marble floors, clean blood from banners, and vanish when nobles passed.
But he watched.
He listened.
And what he learned in silence could sink them all.
Now, with Varethiel on the edge—uprisings rising, routes collapsing, betrayal blooming—Kieran won’t hide. The sea forgets kings, but remembers storms. And Kieran Thalorion is the storm they never saw coming.
At his side: Eren Solmere, reckless, clever, and the first to ever choose him.
Maybe that’s all he needs.
