Xander Woodsong has been many things-Elven general, royal prince, battle-hardened strategist. But after eight centuries of war, he lays down his sword in search of silence... and something more than duty.
He didn't expect to find it in a half-dead male, hunted by mercenaries and starved in the forest.
The male's name is Viktor. Young, mysterious, and ice-cold to the touch, Viktor claims nothing of himself-but there's power in the way he speaks, in the stillness he carries. He's no ordinary damsel in distress. He's the newly crowned vampire king, betrayed, but not running... and, to Xander's surprise, quietly, relentlessly dominant behind his soft-spoken charm.
As time moves on, the two men find themselves bound by necessity, secrets, and something deeper. Xander, strong and commanding in every battlefield, finds himself aching to submit-to offer not just protection, but every part of himself. And Viktor, for all his gentleness, refuses to relinquish any control.
But power always has a price, and when Viktor returns to his throne, Xander faces an impossible choice...return to the life he left or leave Viktor to face his future alone.
