Résumé

In the gilded halls of the Court of Veloria, appearance is everything. For Princess Aria, survival means playing the part of the perfect, poised puppet—especially with a sinfully charming fiancé whose smile hides a calculating mind, and a stepmother Queen who is slowly poisoning the kingdom from the inside out. But the most dangerous secrets aren’t kept in royal councils. They are overheard by the one man nobody takes seriously. Lyran is the court fool. A chaotic, sharp-witted menace in face paint and silver bells, he is treated as disposable entertainment by day. But by night, he drops the act, moving through the candlelit, hidden passages beneath the castle walls like a ghost. He sees every crime, every lie, and every drop of poison. When Aria accidentally stumbles into his shadowy world, an unlikely alliance is born. Together, they must out-maneuver a court full of snakes. Publicly, they must play their parts—he bows, she ignores him, and the forbidden distance between them is pure torture. But privately, in the dark tunnels behind the tapestries, he is the only one who can make her laugh, and the only one she can truly trust. As the palace edges closer to ruin, Aria will have to decide how much she is willing to risk for her kingdom... and for the boy whose silver bells have become her only sound of safety.
