He was sent to kill her. Instead, he claimed her.
When a shadow orc assassin storms Queen Eliza Ducanis’s chambers, she expects death. But Rakhal—feared prince of shadows, sworn to strike down her bloodline—makes a choice that changes everything.
Instead of ending her life, he marks her as his. Now Eliza finds herself trapped in his grasp, caught between fury and a dark fascination she cannot ignore.
Draped in the velvet of his claim, bound to march into her own city under his protection, she must face the terrifying truth: this orc has no intention of letting her go.
He is her enemy. Her captor. Her would-be husband. And the most dangerous temptation she has ever faced.
