“Marry me and I’ll let your father live.”
Princess Caliane is convinced she'll die. Her castle’s gates are torn open, her father, the king, bound and gagged on his throne, and in his throne room stands the Tyrant. His skin is gray, his teeth sharp, his hands tipped with black claws. When he smiles like a predator scenting prey, her stomach roils with terror.The monster forces her to choose: her father’s life for her hand in marriage.
Nothing in the soft, demure life of a royal princess has prepared Caliane for being a wife to a beast. His manners are abrupt, his language crude, and his silver eyes shine with wit. During the brutal journey to his kingdom where humans are reviled, she is passed from warrior to warrior like chattel.
The Tyrant has three knights—and they share everything.
As she moves farther away from home, she must untangle the mess of her painful upbringing, decide whom to trust and what to fight for. The princess might not have the strength to wield a sword, but her mind is sharp, and her monstrous husband and knights, terrifying though they seem, might turn out to be exactly what she needs.
This standalone fantasy reverse harem romance contains dark and adult themes. Reader discretion is advised.
