Volume Two of the “On the Border of the Universe” cycle.
Markus, in whose chest two hearts beat, is the heir prince of the Universe—but is he destined to live to his coronation? His royal mother sets a hunt for him to bring him under her control, which she has no intention of sharing with the offspring of a cannibal king who is willing to consider the opinions of people and other races across millions of planets.
The runaway prince has long-lost magic. He gains allies and support from alien civilizations. Fleeing the royal fleet, he crosses the border of the Universe and encounters shadows of the same nature as himself. Will Markus be able to return? And even in the face of death, for the sake of saving the one love that was granted to him, he is ready to turn the entire universe upside down.
