Morgan is a diplomat, not a fighter. But when a southern warchief's marriage proposal turns out to be a front for conspiracy, Morgan is sent into enemy territory with only one protector: Bohdi, his brother's second-in-command, and the man he has been secretly in love with for years.
Bohdi is loyal down to his bones and has done everything Eskil, his king and best friend, has ever asked. But things between him and Morgan have been different since Morgan grew into a man, and Bohdi has never claimed to be a saint. Morgan is his king's younger brother. Untouchable. Off-limits. But, alone together in hostile territory, the lines are starting to blur.
When their mission collapses into violence and survival becomes all that matters, the line Bohdi swore he would never cross starts to feel less like loyalty and more like cowardice.
This is book three in the Rengara series and should be read in order.
