Summary
“And when you get sick of having a play thing?"
King Hongjoong’s eyes ignite with a flame that Seonghwa feels dancing across his skin, his lithe but brutish form rising from the throne for the first time that evening. His presence is all consuming, gaze so sharp and teeth even sharper. There’s nowhere to look but him, and Seonghwa clutches his cloak tighter.
“Do not worry, your highness. I shall never be sick of you.”

Summary
"If I had known it would end like this," Hongjoong whispered, voice cracking as he pressed their foreheads together, "I would still choose to love you. Even if it damned us both."
Seonghwa was just a quiet history student. One fall in a forgotten ruin, and he wakes in a blood-soaked kingdom ruled by the very king he once studied. Now bound to a man history never told the truth about, Seonghwa must survive the unraveling devotion of a king who would set the world on fire just to keep him close. -

Summary
Prince Seonghwa and Captain Hongjoong both have things they refuse to do.
Seonghwa refuses to die by a pirate’s hand, especially after being tossed in a ship’s brig to rot. Hongjoong refuses to tell his crew why he agreed to kidnap Aruna’s infamous second prince in the first place.
But if they could just throw a clean hit to the other’s face? Neither of them would refuse an opportunity like that.
