Being claimed shouldn't feel so lonely. Sei's power isn't truly his. As a grail, his role is to serve a mage by augmenting their magic. He's equally nervous and excited about his arranged betrothal. After a life without intimacy, Sei will finally fulfill his true purpose as a treasured, valuable grail. There's only one problem: Sei's new betrothed is the legendary Marek Dire. The dragonrider prince is powerful, intimidating, and larger than life-or at least larger than Sei. Prince Marek doesn't want a husband, especially one like this. Sei might be captivating, but he's also fragile and frighteningly obedient. Marek vows to break the betrothal, and he refuses to use Sei as a grail. No matter how much Sei wants to be used. But Marek underestimates Sei. Wielding kindness as a weapon, Sei discovers unexpected tenderness in Marek-and new fierceness in himself. But being a grail in power-hungry Draskora is dangerous, and Marek still fears two things. That someone else might hurt Sei... ...or that Marek himself will. Prince and Betrothed is a high fantasy gay romance, with an arranged marriage, dragons, and shameless displays of affection. The Perilous Courts series is best read in order, and Prince and Betrothed continues the three-book arc about the princes of Draskora.
