Five months have passed since Kevin saved Matt from working the streets. Matt didn't think he could be happier having his prince, Kevin, at his side. But nothing is simple in the Fae world Kevin belongs to, and both love and deceit lay tangled webs. Life under the Hill needs a strong hearthstone to power the long lives of the Fae and the magic they use, and Matt couldn't have guessed how corrupted and dark the source of that power has become. What once had been a beautiful ceremony between the King and those who loved him has become a terrifying ritual of being hunted down like a rabbit and drained for the good of the Kingdom.

Matt had thought his love for Kevin knew no bounds, but he doesn't know how the hearthstone is refilled, or that in all the years the rabbit had run, there had only ever been one who had survived the night. Matt's own father had been caught and drained. Only one rabbit had ever survived the night—-Kevin himself. Love is easy when life is simple. When things go to hell, love is forged... or burned away.
