Fate of a Royal (Lord of Rathe, 1)

There’s nothing more dangerous than a bored royal with dark magic and a new obsession.

The first mistake was expecting my obedience. Me, a Gifted, a prince to the people of Dark Magic. But while my royal parents can force me and my brothers to attend this university and “learn to coexist” with humans, we don’t have to like it.

And we don’t have to follow their rules.

Our appetites run darker—and hotter—than blood. Add in a little Fae Dust and the power of persuasion, and we find ways to entertain ourselves. But the minute I stepped into tonight’s party, there was the whisper of a warning deep in my mind. One I could hear, but couldn't reach.

One human stands out among the worthless mortals. With eyes like ice and a body begging to be bitten, she's a problem. And if the shadow circling my soul is telling me what I think it is...she belongs to it.

But there is no way the fates would give me, a Lord of Rathe, an heir to the throne of Dark Magic, a giftless girl.

I'll prove they got it wrong. That she's not mine. Even if I have to destroy her in the process...
