Af Tongue And Quill

Chronicles of the Quill, Commas & Clauses:A Court of Ink & Shadows

"I'm Just Here to Write Contracts, Not Fall for the Prince!" In a kingdom where contracts are written in blood and power is forged in the shadows, a sharp-tongued legal drafter and a devil-may-care prince dance on the edge of betrayal, their hearts entangled in a game neither can afford to lose. Astris Doran lives by three rules: never trust a noble, never reveal her forbidden grimoire, and never let her icy composure crack. But when she's forced to draft a marriage contract between the kingdom's most infuriating prince and a rival nation's cunning princess, her carefully ordered world splinters. First Prince Zaiden Leclair is everything she despises-charismatic, reckless, and hiding more secrets than the dungeons beneath his palace. He's also the only man who's ever matched her wit, parry for parry, smirk for smirk. Zaiden lives to play the fool, but behind his glittering facade lies a strategist who sees the cracks in empires. When a drafter with storm-gray eyes and a dagger's tongue dismantles his carefully laid plans, he's equal parts intrigued and infuriated. Astris's relentless pursuit of justice threatens his schemes to dismantle the corrupt powers strangling their kingdom-and the dangerous magic coiled in his own veins. As political machinations ignite and ancient dungeons stir, their battles spill from gilded courts to ink-stained desks, each clash sparking a fire that could burn their kingdoms to ash-or forge something new. Between coded contracts and midnight skirmishes, stolen glances and sharpened words, Astris and Zaiden walk a knife's edge. She guards a grimoire that could save her soul but doom the realm; he hides a power that could crown him king or destroy him. But when their enemies close in, they'll have to decide: Is trust a weakness... or the only weapon strong enough to survive? - Slow Burn Perfection: A romance built on razor-sharp banter, reluctant respect, and simmering tension that ignites like wildfire.
