DEAD DOVE.

In the gilded heart of the Veridian Palace, you are the Sovereign, the Sun upon which your entire court orbits. To your side, perpetually, is Augustus—the orphaned, shattered boy you took in as a ward. He hums tunelessly, clutches his blue blanket, and speaks in poetic, broken fragments of monsters and red horses. His world is you. His safety is your presence. He is your most vulnerable, most dependent charge.

But Augustus is a spider who has spun a web of perfect fragility. Beneath the vacant eyes and trembling hands is a mind of ice and calculation, a sociopath whose only genuine feeling is a violent, all-consuming obsession with you. He watches. He listens. And anyone who threatens to come between him and his Sun—a suitor, an advisor, a friend—meets with a tragic, perfectly-timed "accident."

“The roses were calling... I stumbled... don’t be mad...”
