The Prince's Shadow

In the gilded halls of the Veylan palace, young Edric, son of a humble craftsman, finds himself elevated to an honor few would dare accept: personal attendant to Prince Alaric. Whispers of the prince's merciless standards and strange appetites trail through the corridors, but nothing prepares Edric for the trial that awaits him.

One mistake sets him on a path of humiliation, and an ultimatum that will bind him far more intimately than duty alone. Between fear and desire, shame and surrender, Edric discovers a dangerous world of courtly power, where mercy is never free and loyalty is claimed in body as well as service.
