All his life, Cal has heard stories of the shining city of Highmount, the place of his birth and his birthright, a glorious place where the food is better, the people are lovelier, and the air is sweeter. When he returns, now an adult and an itinerant musician, what he finds instead is a city of intrigue and danger, where people buy his body and take his blood for dark sorcery, where everything he's fought and prayed for turns sour beneath his hands. The only people who give him a second glance are his newfound brother, hiding an illicit affair with a servant boy, and the mysterious Loran Blackmorne, a practitioner of a magic long since thought destroyed. However, as a new threat unravels, the passion and determination of these two men may be the only thing that saves Highmount from being torn apart at the roots.Lust, loyalty, shame, and gender play combine in a rich new world, intriguing enough to keep the reader turning pages through every scintillating, gripping, and occasionally heartbreaking scene.
