Luka Lockehart, trapped in marriage and psychically bound to the Snake of the South, rides for northern Kitera. There, he hopes to find the allies he needs to return home and save his brother from his mother’s claws.
HAVING TRADED HIS LOVER’S KINGDOM FOR FREEDOM…
Theodori Hunter escaped captivity – but only after promising to retake Luka’s home country in the name of the demon prince-turned king. He will need help to do so, but he doesn’t know if he will find it in this homecoming to Kitera. Kitera, where if Luka and Theo’s mating bond is discovered, Theo’s people will finally have the leverage they’ve always wanted.
But when Luka and Theo arrive at the northern capital, the return of an old enemy ruins their plans.
One execution and prison break later, Luka and Theo are left fleeing the capital into the winter. Luka, desperate to save his brother, and Theo, terrified to break his promise, must turn adversaries into allies to survive. Their only constant is their ever-growing, undeniable need for each other – and the demon king in their way.
