Anthology K.N. Lee After escaping the Vault, a prison for gods, twin siblings Preeti and Vineet make a desperate journey to the human world where they must impersonate the race they are meant to rule and protect. The plan was simple: wait three years until their Enlightenment, when they will be powerful enough to fight back against the Goddess of Law. But, a forbidden ro- mance with a rebellious prince has Preeti losing sight of her role as the Goddess of War. Ashlee Nicole Bye Chimera prince Ashton Denaris has enough on his plate: his mother is dying, his people are at war, civil unrest is brewing within his territory, the magic that gives the creatures of the Midnight Court their very natures is fading away, and no one wants him to be Regent, let alone King. The last thing he needs is Kyan Danforth popping up in his life again: that night five years ago should never have happened--chimera and vampyres do not mix, to say nothing of their genders--but with Kyan back in his life Ash is finding it harder and harder to keep those memories buried. With enemies around every corner and his mother's death revealing a secret that will shake him to the very core, Ash starts to realise that perhaps Kyan is the only person he can really trust.
