Betrayed by his stepbrother, Nathan Cole suffers public humiliation when he is strung up at the entrance of Juset, his reputation left in ruins. His fiancée, Renee Zabel, immediately calls off their engagement. Worse still, he loses the chance to marry the female Emperor, disappointing his father so deeply that he is cast out of the family. But his father has no idea—the son he abandoned is no longer the same Nathan.
