Synopsis
"Your love is worthless, it's your hate I need." ~ Prince Vasili Caville
When King Talos Caville surrendered the war to the elves, soldier Nikolas Yazdan vowed never to serve the royals again. He said the same to the prince who tried to buy his loyalty, and learned that the Caville princes don’t take no for an answer.
Whipped for his insolence, Nikolas is also forced into slavery in a palace full of vicious, brutal royals. Prince Vasili is the worst Caville of all. Malicious and cruel, the prince is more viper than man, and someone inside the palace wants him dead. Nikolas would kill the prince himself if not for one thing: Julian, the prince’s personal guard and Niko’s light in the dark. If Nikolas doesn’t submit to Prince Vasili and discover who is plotting against him, Julian will suffer.
But there’s more wrong in the palace than just the prince. The king is on his deathbed, the ferocious elves are creeping closer to the great city of Loreen, and madness stalks the hallways. There’s poison in the Caville court, and if Nikolas doesn’t discover the real reason Prince Vasili tried to buy him with a bag of coin, the palace, the city, and everything he loves, will be lost forever.

Livre très fortement inspiré de "Prince Captif" de C. S. Pacat (voire copié). Les personnages et événements sont très similaires. Par rapport aux événements, selon moi, ils se répètent un peu trop en boucle et ne durent qu'un seul chapitre donc leur impact est moindre… Le protagoniste est victime de v*ol et d'agressions sexuelles, mais aucunes conséquences n'est montrées, ce n'est pas normal.
Haine, complots, violence et tension. Des mots qui me parlent. De temps en temps, c'est ce que je veux retrouver dans une romance fantasy avec son côté dark. Même si ici l'univers et les personnages auraient pu être bien plus exploités, je l'ai quand même lu d'une traite sans respirer. C'était si addictif !
