Years have passed since Death visited Rayyan, forever intertwining itself into his being. Isolated from his desert tribe, Rayyan believes this secret can do one thing: inspire fear and hate. He shares his secluded lifestyle with those like him. When he discovers the crown belonging to a missing heir of an enemy empire, the death in him temporarily becomes visible on his skin, cracking their uneasy safety. Ray slips through a portal to the enemy capital to assassinate the prince before he reveals their secret.

 

However, he discovers he is the prince.  

 

With a magical barrier trapping him inside the foreign capital, Ray tries to hide his surfacing secret. In a year, he will be crowned, causing the magical barrier to disintegrate. Until then, the emperor's motives for molding him into the perfect prince become clear. A high-tech threat has concealed itself in the palace, and the prince might be their only hope. Ray must question the role of his secret and whether protecting it is worth the cost of the world’s freedom.
