The Jester's Vow

Synopsis

Fourteen years ago, Lucien's world shattered when his father was executed, falsely accused of harming Princess Elara. Now, he returns to the royal court, not as the boy who once knew the princess, but as the king's jester. Beneath the painted smile and jesting words lies a heart consumed by a singular purpose: to infiltrate Elara's life, gain her trust, and exact his revenge for the life stolen from him. But as stolen childhood memories resurface and the lines between duty and desire blur, Lucien finds himself ensnared by a dangerous, rekindled affection for the very princess he swore to destroy. As Lucien delves deeper into the shadows of the court, whispers of a conspiracy begin to surface. Missing records, manipulated evidence, and the chilling silence of powerful figures point to a truth far more devastating than he imagined. Elara, it seems, was never the enemy, but a pawn in a deadly game orchestrated by Lord Severin. Now, Lucien stands at a precipice, torn between the all-consuming fire of revenge and the burgeoning love for the woman who holds the key to his past and his future. He must unravel the conspiracy, confront the architects of his pain, and decide whether to fulfill his vow of vengeance or protect the woman who has inadvertently captured his heart.
