Every five
years, Yulen D’Jacques, Battle Lord of Alta Novis, holds a conference to
continue strengthening relations between the Normals and Mutah. Both battle
lords and Mutah councilmembers from far and wide are invited in an effort to
prove how important they could be to each other, and to dismiss any
misconceptions Normals may still have toward the people they once considered
their inferior enemies.
This time,
it’s determined Mattox D’Jacques, Battle Prince of Alta Novis, should take on
some of the responsibilities of running the conference. After all, he eventually
will be the one to take the reins from his parents, but his Mutah “tell” usually
scares people off rather than gains him respect.
Caralas Edge is the battle princess of Vega City, the biggest compound in the west. But she doesn’t want to just be a princess, and have someone coddling her because of her title. She can hold her own. It’s moot anyway. She knows she’ll never take over Vega City, fearing someone wants to get her father out of the way so they can claim it for themselves. She’s long had her suspicions, but her father will hear none of it.
She and
Mattox clash like two swords when they first meet. They’re too much alike in
temperament. But when the red-eyed battle prince saves Caralas’ life, they
discover the danger is not over. It seems someone is interested in the inner
workings of the compound, and it’s more than a little suspicious. But who? With
this many battle lords in attendance, trouble is sure to be found.
A possible
takeover is brewing, but everyone is completely taken off guard when faced with
an enemy no one can fight off. And when it becomes a battle to the death, Mattox
and Caralas discover a deeper connection between them than they ever thought
possible.
