THE ROYAL GUARD

Captain Nhlosoyesizwe has spent ten years keeping his oath to the crown, standing between the royal family and every blade in the dark. But when he’s assigned to protect Queen Manelisa neglected and mistreated by King Mdumawezitha, who only sees her as a political tool—his silence starts to feel like another form of betrayal. He’s sworn to the king, but the queen is the only one who treats the people like they matter. As whispers of a coup grow louder, Nhlosoyesizwe has to choose between the duty that made him and the person who makes him question everything he swore for. One wrong move and he loses both his honor and his life.
