Summary

Set against the backdrop of a dangerously complex world of sorcery and intrigue, Robert E. Howard's "Rogues in the House" offers a compelling narrative that showcases his signature blend of adventure and vivid characterization. The story follows the iconic character Kull, a wary and astute warrior, as he navigates through the treacherous politics of a corrupt city-state. Howard employs a rich, evocative prose style characteristic of his pulp fiction roots while interweaving themes of betrayal, loyalty, and the struggle for power, encapsulated within a thrilling plot structure that keeps readers on edge. Robert E. Howard, a pioneer of speculative fiction, is perhaps best known for creating the character of Conan the Barbarian. Growing up in early 20th-century Texas, Howard was influenced by a myriad of classical literature and historical texts, which informed his imaginative settings and formidable characters. His personal struggles, including issues with health and a tumultuous upbringing, permeate his writing, allowing his protagonists to resonate with a sense of raw determination and existential conflict. "Rogues in the House" is not only a captivating read for fans of fantasy but also provides crucial insights into Howard's broader oeuvre. Ideal for readers seeking adventure interlaced with philosophical undertones, this novella is a testament to Howard's mastery of storytelling and a must-read for those interested in the early evolution of the fantasy genre.

    The Alpha didn’t want a mate—especially not her.When fate marks her as the destined Luna of the most feared Alpha in the region, she expects a bond… not a sentence. One cold look is all it takes to understand the truth: in his world, she’s an inconvenience, a weakness, an unwanted claim he refuses to acknowledge.But a mate bond doesn’t care about pride, politics, or old grudges.Dragged into pack life and trapped under rules she never agreed to, she’s forced to stand beside a man who treats the bond like a curse—while every wolf around them watches for her to fail. The pack is restless. The council is pressuring him to take control. And something dark is prowling just beyond the borders, drawn to the power of a Luna awakening.She can either shrink into the role he never asked for… or become the kind of Luna no one can ignore.Because the more he pushes her away, the more dangerous it becomes to want him back—and the more the bond starts to reveal a truth neither of them is ready to face.The Alpha’s unwanted mate might be the only one who can save his pack… and his heart.By jesse Shackelford
