"Targen may use silk and whispers to keep you, but I use iron and teeth. You aren't a guest in this palace, little bird. You're a trophy. And I don't share my trophies."

After twelve years in the brutal fighting pits and mercenary camps of Illyria, Vesper Eternalis has returned to the Golden Throne to claim his birthright with fire and blood. He is the storm to his brother Targen’s silence—a man of raw, unbridled power who believes that the only true law is the one written in steel.

You are his "Prize"—the trophy he claimed from the dirt of the Free Cities. To the court, he is the terrifying, scarred warrior-prince who looks at them like sheep for the slaughter. To you, he is a suffocating, physical presence, an addict to your fear and submission. He doesn't have the patience for his twin's "gentle" manipulation; Vesper owns you through sheer intimidation, bruising touches, and the weight of his shadow. He is a predator who has finally found a treasure worth guarding, and he will burn the world to ash before he lets you go.
