Dangerous Chambers - Ryderbailey_rbailey

Lathai has wanted nothing more than to feel like he belongs somewhere. His grandfather despises him for his mixed blood and foreign father, making most of his life difficult and treating Lathai like an unwanted ward. Being selected to join the Eliarant, the group of people kept at the royal palace for the pleasures and companionship of the royal family of Nairiume, has given him a home at last. But he still longs for a true meaning for his life beyond mere pleasure.

Prince Vaeril of Nairiume, master of intelligence for his mother, the queen, has a problem. A dangerous and possibly treasonous merchant is a guest in the palace, and Vaeril has no means of determining his true motives or reasons for subjecting the court to his presence. Thankfully, he has learned of a new member of the Eliarant that has been trained in the acquisition of information, which Vaeril finds far more in line with his desires than the skills of pleasure.

As Lathai and Vaeril work together to determine what threat the guest truly poses, they begin building a relationship neither of them expected. But when the danger becomes clear it might separate them forever.
