   Summary

   "He was no guest. He was a golden hostage, or perhaps something far worse—the very blight that had come to eat Gotham from the inside."

   When the invincible House of El unexpectedly offers a non-aggression pact, the Kingdom of Gotham is forced to accept a fragile peace. The price? Sheltering their firstborn heir, Kal-El. Young Prince Bruce vows to watch this star-born creature, determined to find where his steel ends and where his heart begins—and ensure it no longer has a beat.

   But hearts are fragile things, and in the cold halls of Gotham, the line between a deadly obsession and something far deeper is bound to blur.
