Vaun Dray Fen has only two things that matter to his world. They are the Queen and the dust. The dust is an addictive drug that the Queen has complete monopoly over. Vaun is the youngest son of the Queen. He spends his time at countless parties making sure he is seen. His days seem to blend together. When you see Vaun you know that his valet, Grayc Illyan, is close behind him to make sure Vaun knows where to be and what is expected of him. One day, the daughter of one of the most powerful Houses that make up the Queen's land goes missing. Soon after that, bad dust starts to turn up everywhere making for lots of drama and gossip. At this point, Vaun starts to realize that he has not been paying much attention to the women in his life. What has he missed and what can he do now? Is it too late or will his actions still make a difference?
In the Realm there are whispers. Whispers that the city used
to be a different place. That before the Queen ruled there
was a sky beyond the clouds and a world beyond their streets.
Vaun Dray Fen never knew that world. Born a prince without a
purpose in a Realm ruled by lavish indulgence, unrelenting
greed, and vicious hierarchy, he never knew a time before
the Queenβs dust drugged the city. Everything is poisoned to
distract and dull the senses, even the tea and pastries. And
yet, after more than a century, his own magic is beginning
to wake. The beautiful veneer of the Realm is cracking.
Those who would defy the Queen turn their eyes to Vaun, and
the dust saturating the Realm.
From the carnivorous pixies in the shadows to the wolves in
the streets, Vaun thought he knew all the dangers of his
city. But when whispers of treason bring down the fury of
the Queen, he'll have to race to save the lives and souls of
those he loves.
