Vampire prince Echo has everything—wealth, power, and status—except the one thing he truly desires: freedom. Bound by duty to a throne he wishes to escape, he's forced to spend a year at the royal academy. What should have been a tolerable distraction becomes complicated by the presence of his arranged betrothed, Lady Odette—a witch from the house of Mourvain who returns from a near-death experience changed, reckless, and strangely unpredictable.
But Odette isn’t the only mystery Echo must face. The Vampire and Witch elders seem to want more than his obedience—perhaps even his life. And their betrayal? It begins within the very halls of the academy.
