Eric. Crown prince of the Thals and a rigid follower of duties, striving to be the perfect prince his family and subjects expect him to be--a prince that would one day sire the next heir to the throne. But his unexplored romance calls for something a princess can't give. Jean of Anbeia. An airy prince Eric meets at a ball. A man who changes his world. A man who makes his heart beat in love and fear. A man who makes him make a hard choice between happiness and the crown and makes it even harder when he realizes Jean will do everything it takes to get Eric. This is uncharted territory. A forbidden love between two princes plunges everything they have--families and kingdoms--into chaos.
