A desperate outlaw with nothing left to lose. But he’s never been more trapped.
A captured noble who could bring down an Empire. But he’s never been more free.

Lukas’s life was already in tatters and that was before the enforcers took his hand for stealing.

Years ago Lukas ran away from a pampered life as the illegitimate son of the Crown Prince of Azuria and became an outlaw, fighting the cruel Empire he came from.

But when a raid on the royal palace went wrong, the outlaws decided a royal prince couldn’t be trusted. Lukas was branded loyal to his blood kin and ejected. Now he’s been maimed, he needs a way back in.

Taking a captured hostage to a brutal border port to collect a ransom is a small price to pay for Lukas to regain his position in the resistance.

This cocky young man is worth more than gold. And all Lukas needs to do is trade him. Shame he’s so handsome, so infuriating and the first person who’s been on Lukas’s side in years.

And Lukas’s hostage has secrets of his own. Secrets about what really happened that terrible night at the palace.

The Price of Freedom is the second book of the Heirs of the Empire. An MM dark fantasy romance series set in a cruel and repressive world. Each of the books will follow one of the illegitimate sons of the heir to the Imperial throne of Azuria, as they find love, fight for justice and discover their part in a long-forgotten prophecy.

Every couple will get an HEA by the end of the series and an HFN in their book.
