Publisher's Synopsis
He's the boy next door. She's a princess. But when blood and war reach their doorstep, will they unite or be forever pushed apart?
Young and ambitious Earmon has climbed up the ladder in Levitor city to become the Queen's topmost advisor. He seems to have everything he's dreamed of but for one thing: princess Zenithia's love. When he witnesses an intruder inside the city and decides to keep it quiet, he unwittingly unleashes a terrifying chain of events. His friend, Turak, has an episode that results in a fracture in Levitor's shield, and the horde of Reavers prowling outside the city advances. In a world of intrigue, blood, and war, Earmon must battle for survival against savages and beasts. His hardest trial is yet to come, and he will have to face a choice no one should ever have to make: protect the life of the one he loves the most at the risk of losing his own.
