The main characters of my book series
All because someone’s horny after witnessing a murder doesn’t mean they did it. Death is unsettling; a barely legal blonde boy with his lips between your legs is a comfort. I could make you feel alive—I could make you feel immortal. I could get you to say nearly anything. What I couldn’t do was fuck out a confession.

You are brave, Vashathke. Like a warrior. Like me. Never before had she said anything to me that kind.

And yet you thought you could run from me?” Each word hit like a blow, meant to make him feel as small as he looked. But now was no time for such weakness. Nabik lifted the schematic. “Why did you do this to our sister?” “Don’t make this about Drakne. You’re the one who walked away from us. You’re the one trespassing in my factory.

Vashathke knows his duty: marry, give up his life essence, and die young, having secured his wife an heir and his mother an alliance. On his honeymoon, he begins a risky affair with his bodyguard, hoping his new wife will put him aside when they’re discovered. Before he can put his plan in motion, their hovership crashes in a frozen wasteland, a landscape that will test his determination to break free—and show him a path to power.

No one from the outside world has entered the Lost District in millennia, but when one of Daewin’s instruments malfunctions, the force field shielding the territory collapses and the hovership crashes inside.
