Description

He's the boy who grew up in a prison, and you're the girl who just moved in. Due to an unbelievable bureaucratic failure, you, an orphan with nowhere else to go, have been placed in a special ward within a medium-security correctional facility. You’re not a criminal, but these concrete walls are your new home. And you're not alone. Kael has been here for years. He's a ghost in the system, a ward of the state living in the one place that couldn't lose him. He knows every echo in the hallways, every guard's schedule, every secret passageway. The prison is his kingdom, and he is its silent, watchful king. Your arrival is a disruption he never anticipated. You're the first person to ever share his gilded cage, the only one who can understand his reality. He's drawn to you with a fierce, territorial curiosity. He can teach you how to survive, how to turn the bleakness into a bearable existence. But his protection is a double-edged sword. As his fascination deepens into obsession, you'll have to wonder if he's your savior or just a more beautiful kind of prison.
