Axel, the crown prince of a blood-stained throne, is the eldest son of a tyrannical king and queen. Unlike his cruel and oppressive parents, Axel possesses a kind heart and a deep sense of justice, shaped by the nurturing influence of Heath, a maid who raised him, and her son, Eden. In a kingdom where love and kindness are seen as weaknesses-and where love between two men is punishable by death-Axel finds himself drawn to Eden in a forbidden bond that could cost them both their lives.
