An amulet of great power takes a great toll on the wearer. It is the king's delight and the king's burden. It shakes the foundations of the world, topples empires and builds nations. And it has fallen into the wrong hands...
The world has become obsessed with King Emilio. He's young, rich and incredibly powerful. He fascinates adoring crowds with a ruthless smile, and they fawn over his slightest requests.
Connor sees through the guise but fights to keep quiet about Emilio's true nature. It is his cousin, and he made an unbreakable oath...
If only Maia weren't obsessed with the Aztecan king, then maybe Connor would be able to get some sleep at night. But after Emilio proposes to her, Connor's jealousy overwhelms him.
The incessant noise of the palace makes him crave the peace of the battlefield again, but it isn't long before the battlefield finds him, and he has to make a choice...
Every thought that he'd kept hidden even from himself emerges from the darkest corners of his mind. Maia...
Who is she?
