Riven • The Court Jester •
Riven Cordel has spent his entire life playing the fool. Within the candlelit halls of the royal palace, nobles see only a sharp-tongued court jester dressed in silk, silver bells, and painted smiles. Harmless. Entertaining. Beneath notice. That is exactly how Riven prefers it. Behind the performance hides something far more dangerous: forbidden thread-weaving magic capable of shaping wards, curses, illusions, and death itself. For years, he has secretly protected the kingdom’s heir from assassins, political schemes, poisoned alliances, and threats they never knew existed. The heir has always been his closest companion — the only person who sees the man beneath the makeup. But the closer the crown draws, the more dangerous their bond becomes. Because courts are built on power. And Riven would burn half the kingdom before he let the throne take them from him.
