Nine gods ruled the world until the ultimate betrayal resulted in
their destruction. Now, the world is dying, and only by restoring
the Lost Gods can it be saved.
Nine hundred years ago, the Dragons of the Three Storms, the
gods of chaos, tried to destroy their land of Kundou. Only by
rising up and slaying the Dragons and stealing their power was
Kundou saved. Now, that power resides in the royal family and
grants them the right to rule.
But that power comes at a terrible price, and Prince
Nankyokukai is determined that he will be the last to pay it—
even if it means surrendering his chance with the man he has
waited for his entire life.

Prologue: A Promise Made
"This is my hiding spot!" Kinni hissed in outrage, furious that
some street rat had found his little corner in the old warehouse.
He'd searched ages for a place no one would think to look. "This
is my spot," he repeated. "Go find your own."
"So-sorry," the figure said, slowly standing up. He pressed
his hands to his face to wipe away tears, but managed to do
little more than smudge them into the dust that had landed on
his face. There was always dust in the old warehouses in the
harbor. The sunlight that filtered through the cracks in the old
wood walls was just enough to see by.
He'd thought the other person was a girl, what with the
crying and the shoulder-length violet hair. Now, though, he
could sort of tell it was a boy. Crying. Kinni shook his head and
motioned impatiently. "Sit down. If you run now, the guards will
see you, and I don't want to get caught. Took all day to get away

strange crying boy. "Why are you crying?" he demanded. "Boys
don't cry. My dad said so."
In reply, the boy only hunched his shoulders and sniffled,
obviously trying to stop crying. "They tried to hurt me again for
'acting up' in lessons."
Lessons. Violet hair. Some noble brat. Kinni grimaced, but
slid off his pack. Mamma had always said to be nice, and the
boy was crying, so he could try. "I have some food, if you want
