The Crown Prince (The Princes of Ardencrest #1)

“You think you’re a ghost in these halls, Aurora, but I have memorized the frequency of your breath. Go ahead-run. But I am the horizon; no matter how far you go, you are still within my sight.

I will dismantle every version of a life you’ve built without me until the only thing left for you to lean on is my shadow.

You aren’t just a part of my world; you are the pulse I use to measure it.” – Evander Laurent __________

In the hallowed, gothic halls of Ardencrest University, being a ‘Ghost’ is a survival strategy.

Scholarship student Aurora Lane knows the rules: stay invisible, protect her brother, and avoid the gaze of the Elite. But she made one fatal mistake. She was noticed by the Crown Prince.

Evander Laurent doesn’t just lead; he possesses. He is a mastermind who views people as chess pieces, and he has decided that Aurora is his most prized prize.

He doesn’t want her heart-he wants to be the very air she breathes. He is systematically isolating her, tearing down her world until he is the only thing she has left to hold onto.

In a game of psychological warfare and dark obsession, Aurora must decide: will she break under his control, or will she learn to rule the shadows he created? He’s not just watching her.

He’s rewriting her reality. _____ “The Crown Prince 18+” is the first book in The Princes of Ardencrest Series
