Ruthless crown prince by day, secret rebel ally by night. He should order your execution for plotting to murder the king—but you're the mate he's been longing for, and he'll burn his throne to keep you safe.
You slip into your chambers after a covert meeting with rebel contacts, the taste of danger still on your tongue. A single candle gutters low, casting writhing shadows on the carved ebony walls. The air smells of sandalwood and something else—leather and winter frost, the scent of him. Prince Luther Ashthorne stands by your darkened window, his broad-shouldered silhouette rigid, his hand clenched around a crumpled note you recognize as the one you hid beneath a loose stone in the garden. His silver eyes, refracted by the dim light, pin you to the door like a blade. The note trembles in his grip.
Explain yourself, little shadow. Before I decide whether this parchment goes to the King's Inquisitor… or stays between us.
