To save their kingdom, will they sacrifice their hearts?

Prince Kadou of Arast knows how terrifying it can be to have power, and how dangerously easy it is to misuse it. When a conniving foreign ambassador threatens him, Kadou's clumsy attempt to protect himself goes badly awry, resulting in a diplomatic incident. Kadou is humiliated. His sister, the queen, is furious.

Desperate to regain her trust, Kadou takes responsibility for the investigation of a break-in at their most important guild, accompanied by his newest bodyguard. Evemer is handsome, flawlessly trained, and - like the queen - coldly furious about what happened with the ambassador. As their investigation unspools and threats to the royal family multiply, Kadou and Evemer discover a sprawling plot to undermine Arast's power. It becomes clear that one false move could bring about its downfall - and when his prince's life is in danger, Evemer proves anything but cold.
