Prince of Agony (Perilous Courts, Book 6) By Tavia Lark

In "Prince of Agony," Prince Kazia Dire grapples with the price of his power: pain. He's not nice, as being nice risks revealing his greatest secret—the power that condemns him to a lifetime of abuse. However, an opportunity arises when a captive enemy mage, Lucien Vaire, is brought before him.

Lucien, who has long harbored hatred for House Dire, finds himself under the control of the notorious brat prince. Yet beneath Kazia's vicious exterior, Lucien senses a desperate vulnerability.

Kazia, who has learned to fear mages due to painful experiences, must keep Lucien at arm's length even as he uses Lucien's talents. However, as they spend more time together, the distance between them narrows. Lucien begins to act more like a protector than a prisoner, and Kazia is tempted by the dangerous sweetness of trust.

But Kazia's cruel parents may still destroy them both. As they navigate their complicated relationship, they must also contend with the looming threat of Kazia's parents and the power struggles within their world.
