Before the heir to the throne of Rajpur can become the emir, the law states that he must shift into his wolf in front of the sixteen council members, something Kamir has never been able to do.
Not that Kamir ever expected to live long enough to see this day. Despised by his father for his compassion and desire to bring peace to their land, he knew that the moment another son was born to replace him, he would forfeit his life.

Before the heir to the throne of Rajpur can become the emir, the law states that he must shift into his wolf in front of the sixteen council members, something Kamir has never been able to do.
Not that Kamir ever expected to live long enough to see this day. Despised by his father for his compassion and desire to bring peace to their land, he knew that the moment another son was born to replace him, he would forfeit his life.
But suddenly Kamirs father, a bully both at home and abroad, died fighting a losing war before that could happen.
Needing to protect Rajpur from his tyrannical uncle, even if it means his own death, Kamir attends the pre-coronation ceremony. Enduring a gluttonous feast of food, wine, and pleasure-slaves when his people are starving only cements how important it is that Kamir succeed.
Tsaria was sold by his father to a brothel when he was ten years old. Now nine years later, he must gain the interest of the emir, or risk being sold at the Market of Lost Souls.
He will be forced to take fever white until he becomes addicted and then he won’t care what he has to do to get his next fix.
Tsaria would rather die.
Neither man expects a miracle.
One expects to die, and the other prefers to.
But it isn’t a wolf that saves them both that day.
