My kingdom’s ancient wall is failing, and the Hollowborn beyond it grow bolder by the day, so the only force strong enough to protect us—the Blood Alphas—demands royal blood as their price.
I am sent across the border as a hostage, a princess treated as currency by two Wolf Kings who already share a throne, a realm, and absolute power.
King Tovik silences armies with a glance, while King Cassius conquers with strategy and a voice that can heat my skin.
I ought to dread the massive wolves who regard me as prey, yet their claim stirs a hunger I cannot deny, and they have no intention of letting me go home.
They insist I am their fated mate and only queen, a woman they mean to keep and worship for the rest of my life.
Court intrigue coils around a desire fierce enough to scorch stone, and I no longer know if the crown they offer is protection or a cage.
