A modern eighteen year-old, Sonny Preyer, is lost in a world he doesn't understand, a kingdom needing his protection, a wizard pretending to be his doctor, and entire nations waiting for his return. For a withdrawn adolescent, the worst thing is that every stranger seems to know his deepest secret and either loves or hates him for it. Torn from his family, he is forced to live in a castle, subjected to a life of servants and responsibilities he knows nothing about. Beneath his extraordinary beauty, rage and power, ages deep, rise to the surface to confront those who dare try to force him to be something he doesn't want to be. Sonny's anger renders his enemies helpless and silences his critics, never to yield to their desires. That is, not until he finds himself face to face with the man who brought him here. And the only man capable of forcing him to use the power he claims he doesn't have. This is the second volume in the Sonny Preyer saga.
