A brilliant scientist caught between two worlds... A winged Prince fallen from his throne... An enemy determined to destroy them both… He protected her, trained her to be a warrior. Surah, the daughter of a human and the former prince’s favorite concubine, endured the scorn of the gargoyle court growing up. She doesn’t care - the only warrior who matters is Malin, and she will cure his genetic disease if it kills her. It very well may. Enemies at court try to stop her research- enemies who don’t want Malin to reclaim his throne, or to see her as his mate and Princess. They threaten her life, and her research, but she must prevail. If she fails, she will have no protector, and will be sold by her half-brother in marriage to the highest bidder. If she fails, Prince Malin will lose his immortality and be trapped in human form… and die. Together they navigate the murky politics of court, finally lay claim to a mate bond they’ve been denying for years, and hatch a plan to have a secret baby - a true Heir for the gargoyle throne.
