Excerpt:

“He’s been missing for months. How can you not care?” Marcus

Pendleton ground out, staring at his father in disbelief. The king sat on his

throne gnawing on a turkey leg, grease sliding down his pudgy face.
“Because my boy, Rhys was the younger son. He may have been

a prince, but you’re the one who will inherit the throne.”
“So why did you bother searching the kingdom for a princess

and having a ball?”
The king narrowed his eyes at his son. “That happened to be

for you. Scheduling a dragon-hunting trip for that weekend was in atrocious

form. Your mother was highly disappointed.”
“I’ll bet.” Marcus kicked his foot against the dais. He

fought down the urge to shift and show his father his extreme displeasure. No

doubt the old man would have an apoplectic fit if he found out his son had been

bitten and turned into the one animal he despised the most. Not even a beast

like a wolf, but merely a cat. His father loathed the animals and forbade

having them on the castle grounds.
“You need to focus on finding yourself a princess, not

running about the kingdoms slaying beasts and bothering with that fool brother

of yours. The last time anyone saw him, he was following some skirt around and

blathering on about a missing shoe.” His father shuddered, holding his hand up

in disgust. “There were twelve of them. All dressed alike too. The men were

talking about it. Prattling, dancing, blonde things with wings.” His wandering

eye drifted toward a serving wench with a rather tight bodice.
Marcus couldn’t believe his ears. Twelve of them? That

didn’t sound right. Neither did his father’s decision not look for Rhys. It was

unthinkable. Right now, if he could have, he would dump his inheritance in his father’s

lap and be done with him. The man’s priorities were limited to two things. Food

and sleep.
No. Make it three. His father had the wandering eye of a

lecherous pig farmer. He didn’t know how his mother stood it. Given the chance,

he was surprised she hadn’t chucked him over the palace walls years ago and

been done with it.
“Wait, Father. Did you say he was sniffing around a girl

with a missing shoe?”
“Yes,” his father chuffed. “What of it?”
“What of it, indeed…” Marcus stalked out of the throne room,

an idea forming in his head. Someone else must have seen a shoeless maiden, and

he was damn well going to find out what was going on. And twelve girls all

dressed the same? How very odd indeed. He wasn’t known as the best tracker in

the two kingdoms for naught. If he couldn’t find out something about them, he

may as well go sit up in the tower and sew with his mother’s handmaidens.
“Marcus. Come back here. Marcus!”
He shut the door on his father’s ranting, encountering his

servant boy on the other side of the door.
“Geoffrey, Saddle my horse. Tonight we ride.”
