Germany is the Ravyn used to being forgotten, and he likes it that way. He doesn't talk much, but when he talks, people listen. So when Germany tells his Prince that they need to convince the vampire ancient Santiago to petition the vampire Council to gain aid, everyone thinks it's a great idea. Everyone but Santiago. Santiago is an ancient vampire used to getting his way and using his position as head of the Entertainer line to keep everyone in check. Then he meets the Ravyn, who is supposed to accompany him to the vampire Council's annual gala. Germany is a distraction he certainly doesn't need, but the Ravyn is fast becoming a distraction that he desperately wants. In the heart of Council territory with court intrigue, danger, and a mission on the line, the two find themselves hopelessly enamored with one another. But is this newfound obsession really love? They'll have to face more than just their internal demons in order to find out.
