Lucian Elwyne lost everything the night his brother seized the throne. His crown, his peace, and his only son.

In the ashes of that betrayal, Lucian vanishes. Not into exile, but into grief so consuming it threatens to hollow him out for good. But when the man who murdered his child begins a ruthless campaign to silence the last remnants of resistance, Lucian is forced to rise once more. Not as a prince, but as something harder. Colder.

He never wanted power. He never wanted war. But some legacies demand to be defended.

Set in the shadow of moons and burning skies, Skylark is a sweeping tale of sorrow and survival, of a father driven by love, rage, and the memory of a boy who should have lived.

He couldn't save his son.

But he can still save the future.
