   Summary

   After the fall of Marlas, Laurent is shipped to Akielos in chains, stripped of his name and forced into captivity within the enemy palace. Haunted by his brother’s death at the hands of Prince Damianos, Laurent wants nothing more than to escape or see Damianos ruined. Damianos is a conqueror and a barbarian, everything Laurent was raised to despise. Yet in a court ruled by secrets, Laurent discovers that Damianos, the last person he ever expected, may be the only one he can trust as he fights to reclaim his crown in Vere.
