With his brother gone, Micah Brachon has taken on the role of Duke of Palamar. When the traitors who had his brother enslaved reappear, Micah must step forward, and become the Duke his people need.

It is a role he never wanted, but one he takes on, to move Palamar forward, and keep the kingdom safe for Liam's return. Micah has to believe that his brother will return.
Liam Brachon is surviving in the desert Oasis. As a slave, his life is not his own, but he has found that his mind is - and he can use his mind to plan, to find a way to escape. When he is framed for murder, he is thrust into a role that he may not survive.
Friends in unexpected places give him hope, and for the first time since his abduction, he believes he might have a future beyond the pain. But that future may not be what he expects - or wants.
