The capital of Aressia, the world's most coveted realm, is under siege. Outside the walls, Warrior King Thomas, the one said to be born of fire, is bent on the most glorious conquest of his life.

Inside the walls, Bill, the legitimate heir of the neighbouring northern Kingdom hides his identity, serving as the favourite courtesan of the besieged King Constantine.

Having hidden his orientation to men for most of his life, King Thomas sees his attraction to the young man as a threat to all he's struggled to become. However, Bill wants help to gain the throne of the North back, and he will stop nowhere.

So much different and so much alike, the two men will come to know that even a King's crown can become a crown of thorns.
