There's a book series. One of the main characters is a male with mysterious "cuffs" on his wrist that he's had his whole life. His nick name is "Cuff's" because of them iirc. Turns out these cuffs were given to him to control his magical abilities.
Throughout the story we're viewing from 2 different character's perspective. One is this guy Cuff's & the other is a female member of the Royal Family. A Princess I believe. Her father is the King Consort.
The story takes place in a unique world & it's more like medieval times.
Cuff's is the leader of a small city street gang in the story. At the start of the story he's accosted by 2 wizards who are friendly with the Royal family. When they ask for his name Cuff's gives them the name of his rival gang's leader. The Wizards send creatures to hunt that guy in the story.
There's magic.
There's also a school far away for magic users. iirc in the second book Cuff's is sent to this school after his cuff's are removed. Or maybe he's sent on his way there by the end of the first book but it's the second where he actually gets there. Also the princess is sent to the school too.
At some point in the first book Cuff's & the princess run into each other briefly. They meet again at the school & form a relationship.
One of the 2 wizards that confront Cuff's at the start of the story is a major bad guy throughout the books.
