Secrets. Lies. Betrayal.
After a hundred years away, Killian was called back to his hometown by a death in the family.
Orphaned by war, he’d been given a new life, a new home, and a new name. He became Killian del Torau: a son, a brother… or so he thought. Long years of abuse at the hands of his adopted father ended with Killian being dragged away in chains, marked for execution. Escaping only at the whim of an ambitious young royal who offered him a second chance at life in exchange for a binding vow.
Killian must finally find the courage to face his past and the one he left behind.
Reunited, the two elves, Killian and Kade—brothers in name but not by blood—must learn how their time apart has changed them and tested their bond. Having to navigate the taboos of their relationship and come to terms with what Kade really means to him, Killian risks losing him forever.
Caught between duty to his king and the one he loves, can Killian find it in himself to take that step forward? Or will he be forced to love in secret forever?
A MM fantasy romance with a high-stakes power struggle, deception, deceit, and forbidden love.
