His love for an enemy prince threatens his very life. Dare does not mind serving the spoiled and cruel Prince Darius. Growing up with him, Dare does everything for Darius including homework, bed play demands, and even doubling for him as the prince grows too paranoid to face even the smallest of crowds. But everything changes in a single moment when Dare, while posing as Darius, is abducted by the enemy. A captive in a new and hostile land, Dare meets another prince who seems just as indulged and rotten as Darius—until Dare gets to know him, until they fall in love. Against his will, Dare must continue to play the role of Prince Darius for real, or risk everything: his love, his land, and his very life. His only chance for survival is to keep a secret from the one he loves, a secret that is also killing him.
