The Saint Beyond the Gate.

Fabian Valcrest saved Greymark from the monster tide, then slept for twenty-one days paying for it. He wakes to new titles for his sisters, an "invitation" from the Queen to the Royal Academy, and a princess who keeps dropping hints he somehow misses.

Second Princess Liesel knows the secret that could cost House Valcrest everything. She doesn't want to expose it. She wants in.

So Fabian rides for Sanctara with a princess and a guard who hums instead of talking, while his three sisters stay behind, closer than ever, thanks to a voice he never knew he had. But the capital has rules for Saints, a Queen who counts everything, and a fire mage next door who doesn't like being ignored.

A Saint who stops at ten to look ordinary. A princess pretending she isn't strong. And a battle yard where everyone is counting.
