“A special, unforgettable series… Lush. Brutal. Unparalleled.”—Sarah J. Maas, #1 New York Times bestselling author
Damen is a warrior hero to his people, and the rightful heir to the throne of Akielos, but when his half brother seizes power, Damen is captured, stripped of his identity, and sent to serve the prince of an enemy nation as a pleasure slave.
Beautiful, manipulative and deadly, his new master Prince Laurent epitomizes the worst of the court at Vere. But in the lethal political web of the Veretian court, nothing is as it seems, and when Damen finds himself caught up in a play for the throne, he must work together with Laurent to survive and save his country.
For Damen, there is just one rule: never, ever reveal his true identity. Because the one man Damen needs is the one man who has more reason to hate him than anyone else...

I certainly followed the hype to this book, and was left almost…dissatisfied, isn’t the right word, but something along those lines.
The story is intriguing enough that I want to continue the series and see where it heads, but the actual writing (narration, dialogue, scene building, etc) was subpar, tbh.
Going in fully armed to deal with the horrific subject matter and CWs, I didn’t find it to be as brutal as I expected, though I don’t know if that says more about me than the actual content! Certain scenes are uncomfortable, and just seem titillating for titillating’s sake.
