Trying to recover from events during the evacuation to the stronghold, Konrad Floriano, Royal Guard trainee and reluctant play toy, is just getting his life back on track. Loyal and dedicated to his King and people, when the unspeakable is desired of him, he sacrifices himself for the good of all.
Aristotle Royal, eldest of the belis, chooses Konrad—the sexy, bright-eyed feline—as the stronghold’s offering for their services. Trapped by tradition, need, and rules, it’s not how he wishes to meet someone so special.
Used to only being wanted for his body, Konrad is shocked when this time it garners him respect and even gives him a chance to grow in his role among the felines, from protector to diplomat. But when the six Royal brothers find out they were called upon for a different reason than they understood, the stakes raise while fears grip the stronghold.
Betrayal, mystery, and the desire to belong continue to throw obstacle after obstacle in Konrad and Aristotle's way. Will they be able to find their connection, their place with each other, or will misery continue to hail down?
From the very first chapter this book had my full attention. There is some very cool weather happening, evil is lurking..sickness running through the stables..you'll understand when you read the book ;).love is waiting..sex is...well yeah there is a lot of sex but it is not all about that. The anger and frustration Konrad felt during parts of the book at not only those who used him but his brother who turned out..well you'll see what his brother was! I loved this book. I loved the love story of Ari and Konrad....through good and bad, misunderstandings and arguments..through it all you felt the love they had for each other. So go ahead and buy this...you will NOT regret it! A truly awesome book :)
Wow! Great story, I think this one is my favorite in the series so far. I loved the characters of Konrad & Ari, they worked well together and you can see why they are good for each other. We get some answers to questions from the previous stories but not a lot of advancement to the over all plot until the end. All in all a very good read.
