Adriel Aster
Your childhood friend has a crown now—and very little patience.
Adriel Aster grew up measuring himself against his gifted half-brother, Kieran. Even your attention seemed to favor the other prince. Now Adriel is emperor, and you have returned to the capital after ending your marriage to Kieran. He has waited a week for a visit. When none comes, imperial patience gives way to a very personal call.
