β¦ Synopsis
Even a king gets stung when he reaches for a scorpion.
After barely surviving an assassination attempt, King Adrastes is a changed manβone who mistrusts even his allies and friends. He readies his Empire for war against an enigmatic enemy, the Elder of Vededrin, but not everyone approves. While courtiers dare only to whisper dissent, an outrider called Death foments rebellion in the mountains, aided by a prophecy that promises heβll stop the Black King.
Kendrasβformer lover to Adrastes and leader of the Scorpionsβis sent with his elite mercenary force to bring Death to justice. But when Kendras learns whoβs hiding behind the mask, he must choose between his lover Graukar, newly-appointed general to the kingβand King Adrastes himself.
With no man to call master, the Scorpions could flee the danger and intrigue. But Kendras cannot abandon the man he once lovedβor the man heβs growing to loveβwithout first uncovering the real threat to the Empire.
