Chains can hold a body-but what about a heart?
Kidnapped by the kingdom's most feared sorcerer, Prince Dylan Carter should be terrified. Instead, he finds himself oddly... comfortable. No council meetings, no arranged marriage-just a gloomy castle, a soft bed, and a captor who makes unnervingly good tea.
Sebastian Vale never meant for his hostage to treat captivity like a holiday. Cold, calculating, and feared across Aurelia, he isn't prepared for a prince who lounges in his halls, cracks jokes, and sees past the monster everyone believes him to be.
As banter turns to quiet confessions, Dylan realizes he may be falling for the very man who stole him away. But outside these walls, war brews-and freedom may cost him more than his crown.
