Rescuing his best friend, Ben, and seven hundred other humans was a straightforward task compared to what the Guardian Sebastien had been ordering him to do.

Several terrible assignments in a row have tipped the ambassador into trauma, affecting not just him, but also his prince. Calling into question whether he can continue to work for the Guardian who seems to want him dead.

Knowing he has no choice if his parents are to be kept safe, River continues to do as he's told, despite a break in his friendship with Ben and his own doubts about being able to be a consort to his Prince.

Can River navigate Sebastien's orders and remain alive?

Will Prince Eris still love him if he is no longer his consort?

River's only hope is to persevere and give his best, no matter the cost.

PLEASE NOTE: This is the second book in an ongoing series. It is recommended your read River, The Ambassador 1, before this one.
