He will live his life for the love of a king...

Ardan is overjoyed when he is selected to become the new court sorcerer for the King of Phelin. He expects to be giving advice to the king and court about anything and everything magical, but he doesn't expect to become the close friend and lover to the heir to the throne, Caol. When it happens, he chooses to find peace with it and enjoy it - until an invading army takes control of the country and tears their relationship apart.

Ardan is left to fulfill his lover's last request; to take the newborn baby prince away from the conquered capital and raise him to restore Phelin. But raising Prince Caolan and helping him to regain the country will not be simple, not when Caolan has his own ideas about the way things should be.

Summary: If Sūnder Alārd had been born female he would have been cherished for being Faeborn—born with magick—and his birth celebrated. Instead, the L'fÿn insisted on his death. Only his Panthrÿn father's desperate escape saved him. With most Chándariāns uneasy in his presence due to whispers that he is doomed to become a darksoul, and unlikely to find a mate because of it, Sunder has nevertheless carved out an honorable existence as a warrior and commander. Now bodyguard and chaperone for the Chándariān prince, Sūnder attends the annual mating festival on Earth with his charge. He can't help but be fascinated by Gabriel St. Baptista, the tongue-tied nurse he meets after the prince's accident. When he was sixteen, Gabe came home to discover his parents had headed out into space, leaving him behind. Gabe never recovered from the unexpected desertion and keeps everyone at arm's length to avoid being abandoned again. However, after meeting Sūnder, Gabe finds himself unable to resist the bond between them and breaks all of his carefully crafted rules to spend time with the Chándariān—regardless of the fact that Sūnder will soon leave Earth. Scared by how fast he is falling for Sūnder, Gabe just hopes his heart won't be too broken when Sūnder leaves. Neither expects the deceit and treachery stalking them, and when Gabe saves Sūnder's life, it sets off a chain of events that could either tear Gabe and Sūnder apart—or give them both exactly what they want.
