Since time immemorial the warriors of the Paladin Order have harnessed arcane powers to protect their rulers. For Balen, who has given up his chance at love and fought his way to the top of the Paladin Order, there can be no greater honor than to serve his king. But when assassins annihilate the royal family, Balen suddenly finds himself sworn to serve the very man he abandoned. Now with their nation threatened by enemies both within and outside the kingdom, Balen must fight hidden traitors and unnatural assassins, while also contending with the biting wit and dangerous charm of young King Zavrius. To save themselves and their nation they will have to put aside their past and reforge that trust they lost so long ago.

read for a book club. Enjoyed several aspects, but wish more time was spent on characters and their relationships rather than the battle tactics. Or fleshed out the magic more, but again, lots of battle tactic build-up for that to not be the point. Could use more editing refinement--several words were VERY overused throughout. The sex scenes were enjoyable but it took far too long to get there and without a focus on the relationship and its slowburn, it's frustrating, but not in the way it should be.
If you're into dnd, it'll be more of your thing, but at times it felt like it was throwing in more dnd aspects just because, and not because it supported the story.
It was not really for me. I thought the pacing was off and the characters and their interactions were awkward. The world building was interesting enough though.
