Captured - Passion Amidst The Stars, #5

Once the kidnapper, Shurn is now the kidnapped. Held at the mercy of vengeful sister, Sireen, and the man known only as the Executioner, he must seek to survive both. Taken prisoner along with him is Sharas, a man of extraordinary psychic talent but great fear. Has the prince power enough to protect him too? Does Rasan have the strength to save them both? Will his brother race to the rescue? For Sharas, yes, but for Shurn.? The bonds of Kashalar family are weak and Malor has a peculiar dislike of his youngest brother.
Will he leave him to his fate or be persuaded by Rasan that he is worth saving?Secrets are revealed and dark emotions run high as the Kashalar king tracks the assassin who would be queen. But in this dark tale it is not the power-hungry bloodthirsty princess who bears the most watching. The man with no name, holding the title of Lord High Executioner, is not all that he seems, and while he views Queen Sireen as an interesting outcome it is not what he would choose.
King Shurn is the vision he would see upheld. Shurn seated on the Kash throne, Shurn wearing the Kash crown, himself kneeling at Shurn's feet is his desire. But it is no longer Shurn's. Meeting Rasan has cooled his need to rule, and now he has Sharas. The man who once dreamed of conquest, of ruling an empire, and of feasting on blood has found that feasting on flesh is much more enjoyable. With the delights offered by both Rasan and Sharas what more could he want?But the Executioner is a man of long-held secret ambitions and he will see Shurn on that throne even if he has to force him onto it.
As far as he is concerned his dark-eyed cold-hearted prince has been corrupted by alien influences and he will do all that he can to purge them from both heart and mind. Shurn has survived many horrors in his life and once claimed that without pain there is no pleasure but that was before. Does he still have what it takes to endure the Executioner's procedure?He only has to survive long enough for Malor to swoop in and save the day but will big brother instead turn away from him, as he did once before, save only Sharas and destroy both sister and brother? As king his reign would be more secure with both of them dead and despite all the changes Malor has gone through he is still Kashalar, still ambitious, and still ruthless enough to see those considered his enemies dead and crushed to nothing.
