Cater, a hybrid hiding his demon-vampire blood, lives as a servant in Avalor’s palace, where King Arthur hunts all supernaturals. When a prophecy names Cater as the only one who can protect Prince Alric from a looming darkness, he must risk revealing his secret. As danger rises and forbidden feelings grow, Cater and Alric must fight together to save the kingdom—or lose everything.

Cater turned fully, his expression unreadable, though his features were still twisted by whatever darkness had overtaken him. His sword flickered, its flames casting shadows across his face.

"Cater," Alric said softly, his voice heavy with worry. "What happened? Where have you been?"
