Hidden away in a forgotten tower at the edge of the kingdom, a boy grows up believing he is a curse. Lumiere, the quiet heir of a disgraced noble house, has been condemned since childhood by the woman who raised him-accused of being the harbinger of his family's destruction. With nothing but an old lyre for company, he survives by turning silence into music. Yet the songs that comfort him carry a secret even he doesn't understand: they can reach the ancient dragons that sleep beneath the world.Far away on the war-torn front, Prince Rayden fights a losing battle. His kingdom is collapsing under years of conflict, his father is weakening, and the throne he was born to inherit is slipping beyond his grasp. When a disastrous campaign forces him into enemy hands, Rayden is delivered to the very tower where Lumiere has spent his life in isolation. What begins as an exchange between prisoner and caretaker becomes the moment that alters the fate of nations.Drawn together by circumstance but separated by scars, Rayden and Lumiere form an uneasy bond shaped by mistrust, curiosity, and a quiet pull neither can name. When Lumiere's music inadvertently awakens a dragon, both young men are thrust into a collapsing political landscape-one where prophecy, bloodlines, and ancient magic dictate more than any crown or council.As Rayden faces the consequences of failure and the burden of leadership, Lumiere confronts the truth about his heritage and the power he was never taught to control. Together they must navigate a world of shifting alliances, hidden histories, and dangerous expectations. Their connection-fragile, forbidden, and growing stronger with every choice-becomes both a risk and a lifeline as the forces that shaped their pasts begin to rise.Light in the Tower blends epic worldbuilding with lyrical character-driven storytelling, offering a gentle but emotionally resonant BL romantasy suitable for a wide audience. Themes of identity, agency, trauma, and the search for belonging are explored through two young men marked by destiny yet defined by their choices. The narrative emphasizes relationship development over explicit content, making the novel appropriate for public libraries, academic collections, and teen/YA cross-over shelves.Perfect for readers of gentle high fantasy, soft romance arcs, character-focused epics, and dragon-based mythologies, this opening volume introduces a world where music shapes magic, dragons answer to the heart as much as to power, and two unlikely protagonists must decide whether to accept the roles fate demands-or rewrite them together
