Huxley Abelard lives and fights alongside the immortals of the Blue Hills as a human, but he's always felt something...more. When Hux is confronted with the possibility of a royal lineage, he balks. His wicked past won't allow him to accept the gauntlet that's been thrown at his feet, nor give him hope that he's good enough for the esteemed Dr. Dani-Lee. He can't imagine an innocent yet brilliant woman like Dani condoning the evil in his past. Doctor Dani-Lee Whitehall, physician to the gods, has loved and lusted after Huxley since she first laid eyes on him. Unfortunately, he's made it quite clear she should keep her distance. Despondent, she agrees to put her life in danger to save the Underworld Queen. If she can't have Hux, she'll throw caution to the wind and live life to its dangerous fullness...without him.
