Ocean's Blood

"He looked newly born, as if the ocean spat him out of its womb, naked and wet, a creature made of waves and tides, of liquid and darkness, something that would slip through his fingers as soon as he tried to grasp it."

Vindt's tranquil life as a lord's son comes to an abrupt end when his homeland is overthrown. Friends, family, his freedom-he loses it all to Singers and their dark song magic. Human in appearance, Singers are a different species. Their powers only fail against the demons hunting them. But even this flaw has a patch: humans with a rare and valuable "trait". It allows Singers to take over their voice and use it like a weapon. Vindt turned out to possess this trait, and was bound to a Singer by blood. Ever since, he has struggled to break free.

Unexpectedly, a chain of events binds him to a new Singer: the sly and mischievous Asche. From day one, their egos clash. Only, their encounter was no coincidence; Asche needs him-but for what? To free the Singers from the curse that plagues them? Or because Asche is on a quest for power, as the Singer's brethren believe, who are determined to bring him down? Caught in the middle of their fight, Vindt gets yet another unexpected opponent: his wayward feelings for someone he's supposed to hate.

When Asche's enemies offer Vindt freedom in exchange for delivering Asche into their hands, Vindt has to make a choice.

CAPTIVE PRINCE meets INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE in this dark, queer fantasy novel about the fine line between hatred and obsession.
