She survives on her intuition. He thrives on her pleasure. . . Long ago, the world was destroyed by gods. Only nine cities were spared. Separated by a vast wilderness teeming with monsters and unimaginable dangers, each city is now ruled by a guardian - royals who feed on mortal pleasure. Born with an intuition that never fails, Calista knows her talents are valuable to the powerful of her world, so she lives hidden as the Baron of Archwood's courtesan. In exchange for protection, she gives him information. However, when her intuition saves a prince in dire trouble, the voice inside her blazes with warning - and promise. Today he'll bring her joy. But one day he'll be her doom. When the Baron takes an interest in the prince and the prince takes an interest in Calista, she becomes the prince's temporary companion. However, her city simmers with rebellion. With knights and monsters at the city gates and a hungry prince in her bed, even her powerful instincts may not be enough to keep her safe. Calista must choose: follow her intuition to safety or her heart to her downfall.
