"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.

"Let's first debunk the claim that this is another Captive Prince series. Sadly no, there is only one lgbtq holy grail so you can stop looking now. Still, I did enjoy the story. This contains a slow burn relationship, mystery, a unique magic system, and a dark prince.
The mystery itself was a slow burn too I could not get a hold of. Very intriguing and hard to guess except for the bad guy. That was seen coming from a mile away. The characters are a great mix. Our main Niko is very blunt and defiant, Julian is sweet and adoring, and Vasili is a mysterious jerk who is obviously not too bad.
Just a forewarning though book one was driven by the mystery, book two by the relationship, and book three lost all sight of the plot. Needless to say, I didn't care enough to finish the trilogy."

"<strong>Is this series just another"Captive Prince" clone? </strong><br/><br/>Ok, I noticed a few similarities to captive prince, mostly between the actual princes of both books. On the surface, they both come across as treacherous and cruel. Both prince's are almost asexual on the surface, especially compared to those around them. There's the rumor going around that neither one of them have dicks. They are both cold fuckers. Icey cold. And I believe they may share similar physical characteristics. I could go on, but really it doesn't matter. This book is awesome and it's unlike "Captive Prince" in every other way. Plus with " King of the Dark" you don't have to wait a couple of books before things start to get spicy.<br/><br/> If you are thinking about reading this stop reading other reviews now and just do it or you are going to get spoilers that will take away from some jaw dropping revelations that make this such a great read. The entire climax was giving me everything I needed. In fact the last 20% of this book are so good I would recommend reading just for that."
