who is he

rorrik is the emperor’s eldest son, and the man everyone whispers about when they think no one is listening.

he’s beautiful in the kind of way that’s almost unsettling. cold, unreadable, and completely ruthless, he’s earned a reputation as a killer long before the story begins. people fear him because he gives them every reason to.

he rarely explains himself.

he doesn’t soften his words.

and he never asks for permission.
