When ruthless ambition meets downtrodden courage. The elven city-state of Airgead runs on modern magic-based technology, but has not grown out of its antiquated views. Aristocratic elves hold all the power while lower class elves and humans get things done. Riagan Antarrea refuses to let such prejudices stop him as he climbs from the streets to the top of the business world, making powerful enemies and indulging his attraction to human men along the way. Seduced by Riagan while serving drinks at a party, Elisedd Desmarais has been treated badly too often to expect more than a fling. But try as he might, he cannot seem to escape his own fascination with Riagan and his schemes. As Elisedd and Riagan realize their feelings for each other go far beyond the physical, the growing anger of Airgead's populace threatens to tear everything apart.
