Publisher's Summary

Cedric de Breos was an average son from an average farmer’s family before he was chosen—by royal decree—to befriend Alain Tomolia, the solemn and enigmatic crown prince of Dunn. As Cedric dutifully pursues their strange friendship, he begins to suspect that Alain is haunted by a dark secret, one which has its roots sunk deep in the crown prince’s past.

Cedric’s situation is complicated by the gradual realization that his intended purpose is not only to serve as a companion to the crown prince, but also as his surrogate in the whipping yard, taking the punishment for Alain’s misdeeds. Will Cedric find a way to come to terms with the resentment, pity, curiosity, and reluctant attraction he feels toward the crown prince, or will he allow the circumstances around them to command their fate?

Well-written but not long enough

This didn't feel like a complete story. I've read lots of shorter novellas and short stories, and most of them left me wanting more in a good way. They felt like they had a beginning middle and end.

This one was half a story, without a satisfying conclusion. Even another 30 minutes in the run time would have hopefully wrapped things up more. I was left with more questions than answers, and without a real sense of the characters. It felt like it could have been something, but didn't have the time.

Narrator was not for me. Very same-y, every line had his weird upward lilt that got old very fast.
