Heir of Depravity

*Warning: Restricted Content* Nikolai is the last born of his seven brothers, and the only one left behind when his father, the king of Rodakrov, went mad. Six years later, the king dies and Nikolai, at just fifteen, must take the throne for himself. But succession is never that easy. Soon after his inauguration, his eldest brother appears before him, demanding that he cede power to the oldest of their shared bloodline... forgetting that the brother he was commanding was a child of a mad king, raised in the deepest pools of insanity. An heir to depravity itself. And depravity does not take orders. It does not follow the law of man or kingdom. It knows not the meaning of mercy. A single drop within an ocean, and the entire ocean is blighted. **The romance included within this story is slow burn, and it is neither linear nor simple. You've been warned!

"You know he killed him. Bozhidar may have been mad, but he wasn't suicidal."

Svetu looked over to Ivon, a strong brow cocked.

"Opinions are running wild, I see. Still, regicide is hardly a reason to rescind fealty. That's precisely how the Kazbirati's gained the throne, after all."

"But what of patricide?"

The duchess sighed, not bothering to offer Rurik a look. He was just saying it to stoke the fire. As if he really cared this way or that whether Nikolai committed such an act. The big oak of a man reminded Svetu of a moose. Strong, obstinate, and steady. But occasionally, a flicker of foxlike troublemaking could be glimpsed in his green gaze.

"No different than regicide. Thank you for your enlightening input, Rurik."

His amusement took the form of a gruff exhale.

"An animal that is suffering is put out of its misery."
