A lonely king isolated by his courtiers. A love that dares not speak its name. When Sir Cameron pledged his sword to King Ares, he swore an oath of fealty that he intends to keep - no matter how far the king leads him from the paths of virtue. Tasked with guiding His Majesty past the snares set by scheming courtiers, Cameron discovers that the king's interests close, and the king's longings are not for counsel alone. As his fascination grows, the barriers between them multiply, until one day Bisclavret vanishes beyond reach. Battling desperation and grief, the king stands alone to face the greatest threats to his kingdom, with only duty to his people between him and ruin-duty, and the steadfast loyalty of the strangest wolf . . .
