Prince Atticus lost everything in a single night. His title. His home. His future. Branded a disgrace and left to die, he survives only because the vampires he's spent his entire life fearing refuse to let him perish. As rebellion spreads through Illumai and war looms on the horizon, Atticus begins to uncover secrets that threaten everything he once believed. The kingdom that raised him may be built on lies, and the monsters he was taught to hate may be the only ones worth trusting. To reclaim his throne, he'll have to betray those who saved him. To save them, he'll have to watch his kingdom burn. Read drafts ahead of release on Patreon!
