In the same city, an illegitimate heir discovers the first victim of a serial killer and is drawn into the royal court he’s tried so hard to avoid.

    Note from the Author:
    There is a scene of explicit sexual content with the trans masculine character. Please note that trans people use a variety of different words to describe our bodies, for reasons as varied as there are trans people. The words used to describe his body are the ones that he finds comfortable and validating, even though they may not be the words that every trans masculine person would choose. There is no transphobia, misgendering, or deadnaming.
