Damianos, príncipe de Akielos, es enviado por su hermanastro como esclavo sexual para el príncipe de Vere, Laurent. A partir de ese instante tendrá que enfrentarse a todas las costumbres que existen en ese reino y, lo más importante, tratar de encubrir su identidad.
La verdad es que la primera mitad de este libro es dura, tiene escenas que no son para todo el mundo y si no lo hubiese empezado sabiendo dónde me metía me habría llevado una sorpresa. Creo que es algo que todas las personas que quieran leerlo deberían saber, leer advertencias y saber en qué historia se están metiendo.
Dicho esto, el libro me ha gustado mucho, se me ha hecho muy entretenido y la historia me parece interesante cuanto menos. Tanto Damen como Laurent son personajes complejos y cuyas interacciones son curiosas como poco. Hay muchísima tensión entre los dos y, aunque en este libro no es muy lógico shippearlos, yo no he podido evitar hacerlo. Estoy deseando ver cómo continúa la relación de ambos en los siguientes libros.
Por último, mencionar que toda la parte política, de engaño e intriga es impresionante y eso que solo es el principio.
Pd. Quiero hacer especial mención a la obsesión que tiene Damen con los rizos dorados de Laurent. Si no los describe en el libro 50 veces no los describe ninguna 💛

That being said, I did find the political intrigue and world building to be surprisingly strong, and the way that deceit and the abuse of power is displayed is incredibly engrossing. Damen is a protagonist that I was immediately endeared to and watching him navigate Veretian society and politics while trying to keep his identity a secret was very engaging. Conversely, Laurent was a compelling secondary protagonist, with all his brutality and wit. Every time him and Damen shared a scene, I was glued to the page because of how unpredictable everything was. The two of them are obviously being set up as a slowburn enemies to lovers and I couldn't be more excited to see how their relationship grows.
