The Prince Who Was Born Without a Shadow

By Samantha Lynn Bearden

Prince Cael was born beneath the sacred light of Solis, heir to a kingdom that worships the sun. Yet when the light touches him, it reveals the one thing he does not possess: a shadow.For twenty years, Cael has lived as a beautiful contradiction. His mother, Queen Genevieve, desperately protects the secret while forcing him to perform the role of a perfect heir. The court whispers that he is hollow, unnatural, perhaps even a sign of divine corruption. Only Jace Holloway, the veteran guard assigned to protect him, treats Cael as what he truly is-a living human being rather than a theological problem.Everything changes during the Festival of the Sun, when High Priest Vincent Rhodes places Cael at the center of the Cathedral of Helios beneath the ultimate test of divine light. Rhodes believes the prince's missing shadow proves that he is connected to the ancient Void, and he intends to use the ceremony to expose and destroy him.But the truth is far stranger than the kingdom's religion has taught. Cael's emptiness is not a curse-it is part of a deeper balance between light and darkness, mind and essence. When the forces surrounding him finally break the boundaries between the two worlds, Cael must confront the truth about his birth, his mother's desperate choices, and the nature of the power hidden inside him.By the end, the prince who once feared that he was nothing discovers exactly what he is meant to become. His shadow finally returns, not as a mark of conformity, but as proof that he has claimed his own identity. Cael walks into a transformed kingdom as the King of the Balance, no longer hollow and no longer afraid of the darkness.
