The Silver Throne Trilogy
In the winter of 1939, the spare prince of Sweden falls in love with a Jewish Russian refugee training to be a soldier. Their love will change the course of history.
Some secrets are worth a crown...
Born second in line for the Swedish throne, Prince Harald has always lived in someone else's shadow. At the elite Riddarhuset Military Academy, the bookish prince feels lost among the sons of nobility—until he meets Jakob Eliasberg, a scholarship cadet who sees past his royal title to the man beneath.
Jakob Eliasberg shouldn't be here. A brilliant student with Russian-Jewish roots, fighting for every scrap of respect in a world determined to see him fail. When the awkward prince seeks his help, Jakob discovers Harald's quiet determination and hidden depths. Their connection grows during stolen moments into something far more dangerous—and infinitely more precious.
As the sparks of war burn across Europe and Sweden flights to remain neutral, the Royal Family will do anything to protect the crown—even if it costs the young Prince his happiness. As the Queen’s threats loom over Jakob's family, the young lovers face an impossible choice. Harald must use every ounce of his wits and privilege to shield Jakob from his mother's machinations, while Jakob sacrifices everything to protect Harald from forces that would see them both destroyed. In a world on the brink of war, where love is rebellion, they will risk everything - their families, the positions and their lives - for a chance at a a life together.
"Remember us when you stand beside the throne of Sweden..."
Crown Prince Harald expected to spend the rest of his life in the shadows, until his brother’s tragic death thrust him into the light. With his father dying and his mother threatening everything he holds dear, Harald must out-maneuver the royal court’s deadly games while Finland burns and the man he loves fights for his life on the battlefield
Jakob Eliasberg has found his purpose on the frozen battlefields of Finland, fighting alongside rag-tag forces of the Finnish army against the Soviet Invasion. But War can’t silence the longing for the prince who sacrificed everything to keep him safe from the wrath of a Queen. Miles from Stockholm and the Prince he loves, Jakob fights for himself and brothers, and to become the man who can stand behind the throne of Sweden, and it’s Crown Prince.
Separated by hundreds of miles and the weight of a crown, Harald and Jakob fight their own battles - one in the halls of power, the other in the snow-covered forests of a besieged nation. With Swedish neutrality handing in the balance and enemies closing in from all sides, they’ll discover that the greatest act of love and trust is refusing to let go.
The last thing that Harald ever wanted was the crown. Now, with his father barely cold in the ground and enemies circling from within and without, he must shoulder its weight and become the leader his country needs—while protecting the man whose love makes him strong enough to try.
Jakob Eliasberg returned from the Winter War a battle-hardened and ready to stand beside his prince. But the palace that should be their sanctuary hides vipers in its walls, and the queen mother who tried to destroy them once will stop at nothing to reclaim her power.
As Germany's shadow stretches north across Scandinavia and traitors wear familiar faces, Harald and Jakob face their ultimate test. The last fight for the Silver Throne of Sweden won't be fought on distant battlefields. It will be fought in palace corridors, in desperate choices, in the space between duty and love. Because in the battle for a nation’s soul, love isn't just rebellion—it's revolution.
