Marcus must wield both magic and the throne or watch his kingdom crumble beneath the weight of his own apathy.

Synopsis

Marcus Sepsimus Lannoy, heir to a waning kingdom, cares only for magic’s shimmering depths—not the throne he’s bound to inherit. While his father clings to fading traditions, Marcus dreams of escape, of shedding the weight of a crown he never wanted. But when he stumbles upon an ancient, sentient artifact—the Cube—his sheltered worldview shatters. The Cube shows him the brutal reality beyond palace walls: the suffering of those without privilege, the fragility of power, even for kings. His mastery of magic cannot shield him from the consequences of neglect. Running is no longer an option. Now, Marcus must choose between the solitude of arcane pursuit and the crushing responsibility of rulership—before war, rebellion, or his own indifference tears the kingdom apart.
