Prince Sage, the man next in line to be king, offers to nurture a dying house plant back to life. He soon realises that the plant has a mind of its own, and perhaps a body too.
Sage Green knows only rules. He doesn't break them, he doesn't do anything to look out of place. He sets a strong example and lives to make his parents proud. Though Sage is very out of touch with his passions. He lives to please, he lives to do his duty.
Sage doesn't like to inspire, or to search for inner peace, or to truly appreciate the land beyond his Palace walls. That is, until his new Valet brings chaos to his comfortable world.

THE WHISPERS WITHIN
On the eve of her eighteenth birthday, Princess Sage dreams of a dark figure whose touch both terrifies and tempts her. When she wakes, the whispers remain - voices of shadows calling her name, voices she cannot escape. Born heir to a kingdom of mages, wolves, and warriors, Sage alone carries no power. Or so she believes. Until assassins come for her life... and the rune seared into her palm erupts with violet flame and shadow, binding her to the one man she is forbidden to want. Elias - the vampire prince of her kingdom's sworn enemy. Dangerous. Obsessive. Reverent. He claims her as his by fate, by blood, by a bond older than her crown. Every stolen glance, every almost-bite, drags her closer to surrender. But her mother, the Queen, demands obedience. Her brother, the warrior, vows to kill Elias before he takes her. And Prince Darius of Caelum - cruel, arrogant, and hungry for power - seeks to claim Sage for himself, even if it sparks war. Torn between crown and shadow, duty and desire, Sage must decide: Will she fight the bond that consumes her... or let the whispers within claim her soul? Lust. Blood. Betrayal. The Vampire Empress series begins here.Complete
