The Photographer's Apprentice

Freedom has a price. Desire demands everything.

Photographer Jonathan Moorgate has always lived by his own rules. Raised in London's upper-class world, he rejected its conventions, carving out a reputation in the city's underground with his provocative portraits of young men and a life defined by freedom and excess.

Everything changes the night he brings home a mysterious young man he can't bring himself to let go.

Charlie was never meant for the streets. Cast out of his middle-class life after being caught in a forbidden act, he burns with a self-destructive fire-until Jonathan pulls him from the gutter and ignites something far more dangerous behind closed doors. Grateful, devoted, and with nowhere else to go, Charlie is willing to give Jonathan everything. Even his freedom. Even his life.

Their fragile world fractures when a seductive stranger invites them into the secretive, decadent society known as The Zagreus Den. To earn entry, Jonathan must complete a risky assignment: infiltrate a country house party and photograph powerful guests for blackmail. But when Charlie discovers a young nobleman imprisoned on the estate and marked for sale, the job turns into a desperate fight for survival.

Once you've been invited into The Zagreus Den, there is no leaving.
