Prince Zayn De’Monté knows deep down that he’ll never be the hero of his own story. His story ended years ago, when he witnessed the death of his sister at sixteen.
It should’ve been him.
So he’ll brush off the gossip mongers who say the worst, calling him evil, insane, possessed. He isn’t willing to live a life anymore, he’s surviving.
What must he do when a girl who looks like roses tells him that his life has meaning?
Rediscover the nuances of war, love, and magic in Chapter 15 Studio’s audio drama: He Who Forsakes the Crown.
Completed 11/2/24.
