Summary
"I’ve never heard of a prince that could afford to lie low," a teasing, lilting voice rang in his memory. "Much less a future god-king."
"I am neither of those things yet."---
As part of the long-held Talokan–Wakanda Alliance, an annual state visit and tournament are alternately hosted by each nation.
For Namor, it is a time of spectacle and scrutiny: a reminder of everything he’s expected, yet never asked, to become. Especially this year, when he’s unexpectedly tasked with leading the games.
For Shuri, it’s an exhausting performance of politics and tradition. Even thousands of leagues beneath the surface, she can’t escape the weight of her mother’s expectations.But quiet disruptions start to rock the games. Someone is trying to sabotage the ATAWA, and it's putting the alliance—and people’s lives—in danger.
As secrets stir beneath the surface, Namor and Shuri must rely on each other to protect their people, while navigating the fragile balance between what is expected of them… and what is quietly growing between them.What’s a god-king to do?
