In a time of mystery and magic, one man seeks to fulfill his powerful destiny.
Prince Thrain Blackwater undertakes a deadly mission to capture the one who can help him get his revenge and make him whole. But to achieve his ends, he must perform an act of brutality that will alienate the man he hopes to claim as his own.
Prince Elias Trueheart is a Null, a noble of the royal Trueheart line with no magic of his own. Resigned to a life of obscurity, he loses even that when his entire world is turned upside down the night Thrain comes for him. After the Blackwater prince claims him in a way Elias feels he can never forgive, he kidnaps him as well and drags him back to the snakepit he calls home, Castle Black.
Thrain knows Elias will hate him forever--and he doesn't blame the other man a bit. Still, he hungers for Elias's love and will do anything to earn it, even if it means facing down his brutal older brother who wants Elias for himself. But will Elias ever return his feelings or is he incapable of forgiving Thrain's crime? He will have to make up his mind very soon for beneath the dark and dangerous Castle Black lies a secret that will unlock Elias's magic and a deadly riddle that will put both his life and Thrain's in peril.
