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!

Unholy Transmutation - Part 15

There was a saying in Rodakrov about proper, warm clothes. It would be spoken to ambassadors or emissaries of foreign lands, southern travelers, Sanctorum vicars – anyone who wasn't dressed for the Mad Land weather, really.

'Put on your Krovic skin.'

Vitale thought it was a quaint little idiom when he first ventured this far north – a simplified metaphor of sorts. Of course, back then he also highly underestimated how advanced and adapted the Krovs really were.

It was not a metaphor at all, because the proverb did not refer to the clothing alone. One had to don a particular mindset to survive long bouts of time in the never-ending winter. One had to transform oneself into a Krov. Enter into their skin and become one.
