Summary
When Issei is seven, his Pandora's box opens. At twenty-three, it explodes.
Prince Takahiro is unobtainable. From him, Issei hides two secrets: his magic and his love. But, as the years progress, these secrets become harder to keep. Then, Prince Takahiro dies.

“No,” he says again, and it’s like a clap of thunder. It’s like a thousand voices layered over his own. There is a heartbeat beneath his fingers that no longer moves; there is a mouth pressed to his neck that no longer smiles; there is a love in his arms who no longer takes breath. No.
