Publisher's Synopsis
Though he is destined to become the king, Prince Keiran is just a boy who wants nothing more than to live a normal life and to be with the girl he loves.Keiran has done his best to remain as invisible as the rats in the castle to avoid his father's abusive hand. Still, his repressed anger over what he's endured is pushing him to break, and the new complications brought on by his latent vampirism only add to his instability.The prince craves freedom, but the castle is little more than a prison. Inside its walls, the rigid class divisions of their society are destroying his bond with the servant he's fallen in love with. As her mother puts an end to their nascent relationship, Keiran's ability to control his emotions falters, turning him toward a path of self-destruction.As Keiran's ability to hide is stripped away, he doesn't know if it's new-found courage or simple rage toward his father that stirs his desire to rebel. Either way, there are things he will no longer tolerate, and if Keiran doesn't manage to control his fury, the entire nation of Tordania will suffer the consequences.
