Behind the mask of ice, there beats a heart of fire.
In the frozen north lies a kingdom of bear shifters ruled by a wise and gentle queen. Next in line, Prince Siku chafes under his mother’s rule while he dreams of the world outside the castle walls. When his mother announces he is to be wed, Siku flees the castle, determined to seek knowledge and new experiences.
Within the first hour, he learns a few harsh realities about the outside world. Yet help arrives in the form of a tall, handsome thief by the name of Aputi. Ignorant to Siku’s background, Aputi takes pity on the naïve man and takes him under his wing.
Under the guidance of the conman with a heart of gold, Siku experiences the world of the common folk with open eyes. Along the way, Aputi becomes a friend, and lover. While the royal guard search for their missing prince, Siku finds himself falling head over heels for a common alpha.
Together, they will be forced to face the reality of Siku’s position as prince. Already promised to another, Siku will have to choose between his fiancé, and the man he loves. And if Aputi wants to keep Siku, he will have to risk everything.
