The Queen's Gambit

Synopsis: In the fractured kingdom of Veridale, Kael Draven has one goal: to join the Shadow Corps, the covert force sworn to protect the royal family from threats within and beyond the kingdom’s walls. Known for their secrecy, deadly skill, and total loyalty to the crown, the Corps operate in silence—and few who enter ever return to the world they knew. Kael earns his place in the King's Academy through brutal trials and is placed in a squad with Reyna Voss, a fiercely capable hunter’s daughter, and Jared Varion, an arrogant noble with a dangerous grudge. But what begins as training quickly unravels into something far deadlier. Missions turn bloody, secrets surface, and Kael's squad stumbles onto a conspiracy linking a powerful noble house with Veridale's greatest enemy. As betrayal festers within the kingdom's highest ranks and the Shadow Corps itself is compromised, Kael is framed, exiled, and hunted by the very force he swore to serve. But exile reveals a truth about his bloodline that connects him to the war in ways he never imagined—and gives him the power to fight back. With war on the horizon and loyalties shifting, Kael must expose the traitors, protect the throne, and decide who he truly is: a pawn in someone else’s game—or a force to end it. An action-packed adventurous novel with a brave warrior male lead in a royal weak-to-strong MC setting.
