Leaping into Chaos

A runaway cursed prince. A weary necromancer. A lie that could save a kingdom or cost them everything.

Prince Naran of Ilystra is a prisoner of dawn. Cursed to live as a timid hare by day, he aches to help his family break the spell that binds his brothers. When he escapes the castle walls, he doesn't expect to be caught, not by a demon, and certainly not by a wandering necromancer with shadow-filled eyes.

Despite his attractive looks, though mature loos, Gideon is ancient by mortal standards, a necromancer bound to chaos and cursed with a lifespan that has left him weary of temporary things. When a frantic hare crosses his path, he thinks he just sorted dinner. But when the hare becomes a prince (a beautiful, stubborn, lying prince), the Pit might as well have spilled all its chaos upon him. Even as Gideon escorts him back home, safe and sound, long-lashed, dark-haired Naran convinces him the Queen of Ilystra has hired him for a job. Despite Gideon's doubts, the prince's chaotic magic calls to him like a siren's song, and the gold... is too good to refuse.

Now bound by a lie and hunted by demons drawn to the prince's exposed power, Gideon and Naran must rely on each other to survive. But between the dangerous magic, the secrets of the curse, and the reckless desire igniting between them, trust is fragile. And when they discover the curse is a weapon with a demon at its core, will their forbidden alliance become a weapon, or the tool of their destruction?

Can a necromancer who walks alone and a prince who's never been free learn to trust the bond growing between them? Or will truth and demons destroy their hearts along with the kingdom?
