Magnus, a captured Beta on the Planet Alpha, has found solace and freedom in captivity. The outside world was cruel and dangerous, but behind King Dram's walls he is safe.
Unfortunately, his fellow prisoner, Erik, does not feel the same way. The son of Alpha's, Erik was cast aside once he was found to be a Beta, and he longs to earn his family name by proving his worth.
The two find themselves at odds when they are forced to take on their daily duties, but, in the end, both men will be at the service of their King. And Erik will finally realize that it isn't his place to stand side-by-side with the Alpha's on the battlefield. His place is on his back, and in their beds.
