A strong pick for readers who like dark sci-fi romance with dangerous attraction, buried secrets, and a relentless prince who turns one cadet’s careful life upside down.

About this book

Rin Varun crossed galaxies hoping for a simpler life, but a year on his new world, he is still burdened by secrets. At the Academy, where cadets are trained to expose what others conceal, his plan is straightforward: keep his head down, finish his training, and make sure his past stays buried.

That plan starts to fall apart when Kelevra Diar notices him. Third in line to the imperial throne, Kel is a Devil of Vitality who is used to getting what he wants and has little patience for pretense. Fascinated by Rin and the darkness he senses beneath the surface, Kel pushes closer and refuses to let go. As his attention turns into an arranged betrothal, Rin finds himself trapped between desire, danger, and the risk of letting the wrong person see everything he has fought to hide.
