It's hard to keep your head up when the shit hits the fan Everything Troy thought he knew about himself was a lie. Orphan, former slave, father, lover to Andi and maybe one day her king… all wrong. He's the missing heir to the throne of a separate sect of Shifters, and the worst part? His mother showed up and called Andi his cousin. The war with the Lions won't wait for Andi to get her head on straight after Troy's departure, and she still has a war criminal to sentence. No matter what her Panther demands, she cannot mate the future king of Greater Panthera. Mind melds are not easily broken, and while Andi is in a fight for her life, Troy discovers that his new family isn't as supportive of his Hybrid daughter as he might have hoped. Dreams crash against reality and family takes on a whole new level of meaning in this sequel to A Queen's Trust.
