I've kept my secret—that I'm only a half-blood demon—hidden my entire life. But stepping into Blackthorn Academy has unveiled me to the four most powerful men in the kingdom, and now I'm their willing captive.



Secrets have a life of their own, and some of them are more eager to come to light than others.



The four royals and I have been trying to uncover my power, only to learn that it's more dangerous to me than my half-blood heritage.



It's not only my secrets that are revealed, some of theirs come to light too, and put us all in mortal peril.



But I don't care. We've crossed lines I didn't expect to at first, and now, I don't want to let them go either. Even the brooding future king, who doesn't seem to like me at all . . .



Contains mature themes.
