    Summary

    In a world ruled by duty and divine law, Prince Nico was never given the luxury of choice. Amongst a hall of sharp-tongued suitors and watchful eyes, he was bound to a fate he could neither fight nor flee. Yet on the night he tried, it was a stranger’s hand, a king’s hand, that reached out to help him escape. Who could have known that the man who offered him freedom would become the very one to bind him to his heart?

    Married to a king from a land as vast and untamed as the sea, Nico fears he has only traded one gilded cage for another. But Lewis, his betrothed and then his husband, defies every expectation... every impression hes ever had. Beneath his crown lies a quiet gentleness, a vulnerability that mirrors Nico’s own. An almost hidden need to belong as well.

    And as Lewis keeps the door to freedom open, waiting to see which path Nico takes. He begins to wonder...

    If the cage no longer locks, and the hand that now held him only wants to see him fly? could he learn to spread his wings?
