Living in his twin brother's too perfect shadow, Evander Galanis has struggled to prove himself a worthy heir to the throne. It seems the only thing he excels at is disappointing his father. Impulsive, spoiled, and surrounded by an air of entitlement, he doesn't yet understand what it means to be king. When he is left in charge one day in his father's absence, he has the opportunity to prove his worth, but makes a grave mistake that costs him everything. Disgraced and stripped of his title, he flees the castle in a rush of anger. Deep in the forest, alone and unwanted, lives a mysterious forestling, Mathias. Mathias isn't like others. With the ability to foresee people's death, he believes himself to be cursed. Feared and misunderstood by everyone, the only family Mathias has are his forest friends. Until, one day, a stranger wanders into his home and refuses to leave. Two worlds collide when the entitled Prince and the naive forest boy meet. Evander and Mathias are like night and day, but they can't fight the connection between them. When Mathias' visions shed blood on his family, Evander needs to decide if he will risk the man he's grown to love to save the Kingdom that cast him out, or leave them to their fate.
