The crown is his by rights... but the usurper holds something he needs more than power.

The Queen is dead and Lorax is ready to take his rightful place when an intimate betrayal leaves him with no choice but to surrender his throne or lose his only remaining family.

At this unbearable crossroad, Lorax can watch the new Queen lead his country into a catastrophic war, or indulge his enemy's sole weakness: himself.

But for how long can he surrender his body without losing his heart? 

A Dark Queer Royal Romance. Only intended for mature (and difficult to shock) audiences and including but not limited to a taboo relationship, non-con, dub-con, power games between royals, and body dysphoria/genderbending.
 
Warnings: sibling incest (male forms), physical violence (including sexual violence) between the main pairing at the beginning of the story, contextualizing of said violence as the pair move on from the incident (without ever forgetting). Body dysphoria since the narrator does not shift for years at a time. Power games and struggles between the main pairing.
