Das Kaiser Haus in East Germany has survived hundreds of years. It was there when Bismarck unified the German states. It endured World War One, the British blockade of food being sent to Germany after that war and the starvation of hundreds of thousands of Germans as a result, the Great Depression, Hitler, WWII, the SS, the rape and pillage of the Haus by the Soviets after WWII, the KGB, and now the Stasi. Das Kaiser Haus, with thousands of members living on the property and in the seven story Haus, survives. Outside the Haus a Russian Penal Company of soldiers ensures that the residents do not leave.
It is now 1974. Christian Axel is now seventeen and a half. He has six months to avoid being permanently incarcerated in the foundation of the Haus in a cell located deep in the sub-basement well below the dungeons. The Collar King series of books is a story of human trafficking, of Christian being sold into the Haus by his mother. While being trained in the sensual arts of being a catamite, Christian is also given a mission by persons yet unknown to him. In the Haus legends of old there was a prophecy that a person would rise and threaten the very foundation of the Haus. Christian becomes known as the Priceless and many in the Haus believe the legends and try to use him to gather control of the Haus. Christian's father, the head of the Haus, is a vicious man who knows how to meet the needs and demands of the SS, KGB, and the Stasi. He is also known as The Child Killer. In previous novels when Christian was publicly being tortured in chains by his father who intended to kill him, his father finally dies from an administered poison in front of the crowd cheering him. In this book, Chocolate Dreams, for the first time, Christian learns more about his family then ever before. The leadership of the Haus is divided among ten founding families. These families have sent to Das Kaiser Haus those members they found embarrassing in general society. In the Haus these castoffs have power and a willingness to conspire and murder their fellow to ascend. This novel covers the Priceless's discovery of who his family members are for real and who he is unexpectedly related to within the Haus. The psychological, physical and sexual abuse he suffers would break almost any normal human being. At times, the Priceless does crack and various persons attempt to help him recover while setting him up to further their own ambitions. It is a pleasure to edit this book and to write this preface about my younger brother, Christian Axel.
