The Pauper Prince

Andrew Reed is smart and educated, but as long as his people are enslaved to the vampires, his options are limited. When he discovers a strange young man in his family's barn, he shifts forms and trails the thief, trying to decipher why he smells familiar with a hint of something more. Excited by what he discovers, he reveals himself to Lance, and they return to Lance's camp in the forest. When Andrew's family takes it on themselves to "help" by investigating Lance's past, Andrew finds something neither of them could have imagined. If they band together, they have a chance to win their freedom-and a brighter future for all the races.
