Christian Axel, born in 1957, is five months shy of his approaching his eighteenth birthday. He was trained to be the ultimate pleasure submissive known as the Priceless. He is adept at providing the greatest of sexual pleasures as well as putting to death a list of persons given to him by a mysterious cabal of Haus leaders. As a consequence, he is sought out by those seeking to use his sexual prowess as well as by those who want to rise to the top through the elimination of their competitors.

As Mortar King, Christian Axel, will be incarcerated in the "Palace" located way below in a subterranean cell located deep in the foundation of Haus. Before then Christian Axel has to win the loyalty through fear of his subjects.

He also must name a Regent that will serve as his Voice while he is locked down below. There is heavy competition for the post that includes an abandoned Royal named Lucus, an Elder who thinks he is a Vampire named Jonas who is also married under Haus law to Christian, a sexual sadist and half-brother named Byron, and the Silk Queen named Gretta who is under a death sentence once her pregnancy comes to an end. There are others, currently unknown, who also want to be the Voice.

The competitors are ready to go for control of the Haus. Others, who may not succeed in their quest, thinking killing Christian Axel is a solution to their failed efforts.
