The Realm Comes First (Until You)

For stern, principled men built out of duty, discipline, and inconveniently strong morals. The kind who will make brutal choices when they believe they’re necessary, put responsibility before desire, and hold themselves to impossible standards, until someone earns a place in their heart and discovers just how gentle all that iron can become.

Consider adding Cassiel's Servant by Jacqueline Carey. The original story is Kushiel's Dart but this book is from MMC's POV ⚔️

Its a super specific type, that I need more of. I need a break from brooding fantasy boys for some stern fantasy men.
