A blood debt shrouded in secrecy... From birth, Camryn has been groomed for sacrifice. She'll do anything to fulfill her last mission-protecting the Paraspecies king. Recent betrayals have left everyone on edge, especially the king's second in command. He has no intention of standing down. She must either earn the trust of the mate she can never have or destroy him. He won't fail his king again... Trent will eradicate the treachery within the Paraspecies that nearly killed him and the king. No one is above suspicion-especially the female succuba mage who rescued the king and saved them both from certain death months later. Why would she help the enemy? The elusive female is a hindrance he's determined to break.
