The Black Prince

He knows he'll die today tomorrow whenever Luceran's executioner brings down his axe and maybe it's all he deserves. He's ready for death craves it even like he craves the elf with flame-red hair and a sly smile the damn elf whose stolen kiss lit Akiem up in ways he didn't know were possible. </span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(51 51 51 1)>Akiem doesn't do males and he definitely doesn't do elves. But some things do change.</span></p><p><br></p><p><strong style=color: rgba(51 51 51 1)>Drifter mercenary lover - Zane is all those things. He'll do almost anything for coin.

Because Luceran's new toy is not like the other dragonkin. And maybe just maybe the terrible beautiful beast has the key to freeing all the persecuted elves and unlocking Zane's restless heart. </span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(51 51 51 1)>Zane doesn't do love and he doesn't do dragons. </span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(51 51 51 1)>But with the arrival of the Black Prince everything is about to change. </span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(51 51 51 1)>***</span></p><p><br></p><p><em style=color: rgba(51 51 51 1)>The Black Prince is part of the Silk & Steel world.
