Alistair Len, the enigmatic and stoic patriarch of the Len family, is a man of mystery-an intellectual powerhouse who guards his thoughts and emotions closely. Naturally quiet and reserved, he prefers to observe rather than participate, holding a razor-sharp intellect that few can match. Yet beneath his calm and distant exterior lies a labyrinth of unspoken desires and an unexpected capacity for intense, even forbidden, family passion.
Alistair's life begins to unravel in ways he never anticipated, with his wife, Scarlet, a fiercely independent woman with secrets of her own; his two twin sons, Lucas and Marcel, each a reflection of Alistair's complex legacy and each other; and a most peculiar rival, Galileo-a former grimoire who, through strange sorcery, has transformed into a man. Alistair is compelled to assert his claim, finding himself in a battle not only of magic but of heart and flesh. He becomes consumed by a need to secure his son's devotion, to outmaneuver and surpass Galileo in every way possible-drawing Lucas and Marcel closer to him in ways that challenge every moral boundary he once held sacred.
As Len embarks on this dark, twisted pursuit, his yearning intensifies, blurring the lines between paternal love and something far more dangerous. With each victory over Galileo, Len knows his relationship with his son grows increasingly intimate and complex, leading him down a path where love, rivalry, and desire collide in ways he never anticipated. Amid forbidden attraction and the taboo depths of his own soul, Alistair's journey becomes one where he strives to win not only their loyalty but their hearts entirely.
But it's a sexy sound made in the back of his throat that reverberates through me.
"Don't you see Senoy, you took something from me the moment I saw you. And I want it back."
As the bastard of his mother's infidelity to her husband, Senoy never expected anything more than disdain from his family but it became much more when he carries the blood of the Fey Folk. Castigated, ridiculed and tortured by siblings and relatives, Senoy seeks to make his own path in the salacious domains of his father's kin and he can only do that by succeeding in a quest set upon him by the Fey Queen.
But there are forces that conspire against his dreams; a malevolent creature hellbent on cracking the foundations of the supernatural and mortal world with his ritualistic murders, his own desire for acceptance that keeps him tied to the family who despises him and then there's Ezra. The wolf boy who belongs to his sister but has now set his sights on him.
Honor, lust and deceit is all the Fey Folk live by. But can Senoy truly shed the shackles of his mortal upbringing and live up to his true nature?
