He’ll never survive unless he learns to harden himself, to hide himself. Seb's history with both the Summer and Winter Courts was much more involved than I ever could've imagined, and as those details were divulged, I found myself completely riveted and dying to discover more. Since reading ' Prince of Air and Darkness' around Christmas of 2018, I hadn't really thought much about Sebastian, thinking of him only as the fairly-quiet, outsider, college roommate of Finn and Roark, but oh boy, was I ever wrong on that account. GAH! There was wave after wave after wave of bad guys and fresh, new challenges to overcome in this one, folks. Sebastian must choose: complete the mission and earn his place among the Unseelie who took him in, or risk his very life to ensure freedom for the man he loves. When a powerful enemy steps from the shadows, it could spell the end not just for the Unseelie, but for both faerie Courts. How he came to be the whipping boy of one of the most powerful and corrupt faeries in the Summer Court is a truth Sebastian is determined to uncover, even if it puts him at odds with the very people who can lead him to the missing Unseelie prince. And the more Duine helps Sebastian navigate Court life, the more it becomes clear the servant is not who he appears to be. A servant for whom Sebastian, an estranged Seelie royal himself, is developing a dangerous and deepening affection.īut behind the mask Duine wears are secrets as dangerous as what's smoldering between them. Sebastian's only hope of surviving the Court and bringing home Prince Lyne's traitorous brother lies with Duine, a magickless Unseelie servant desperate to win his freedom. The oppressed lower classes are drained of their magick, and around every corner political intrigues threaten an already unstable regime.

The Summer Court is nothing like Sebastian remembers. Searching for the missing vampire draws them into a web of betrayal and half-truths that reaches further than Cristian ever could have imagined, and they uncover a string of grisly murders that bear a striking similarity to the attack that changed Atlas’s life forever.Torn between two worlds, desperate to save one love. With him is Atlas Kinkaid, a former marine turned fierce bodyguard…and fierce lover, albeit a hell of a complicated one.Ĭristian’s cunning is tested by the politics and intrigue of the vampire families of Romania, and the warm welcome he and Atlas were assured of quickly turns to ash as they race to unravel the mystery of an old friend’s disappearance. After he was betrayed by the man he called an uncle, leaving upstate New York for the Carpathian Mountains of his childhood is more a matter of practicality than fear. Especially those who live in the shadows.Ĭristian Slava doesn’t fear much.
