An abandoned boy finds sanctuary and identity within the dangerous depths of the Indian jungle, raised by wolves to learn the unforgiving laws of nature.
Grief is a luxury she cannot afford. Survival is a transaction she is willing to bleed for. Victoria Vega is a widow surrounded by vultures. With her husband dead, her ancestral mountain estate crumbling, and ruthless political rivals massing at her borders, Victoria refuses to weep. Instead, she replaces her sorrow with iron-clad logic and a terrifying, unyielding ambition. But logic alone cannot defeat the private army of a greedy neighboring lord. For that, she needs a weapon. She needs a monster. Deep within the haunted ash forest lies the Cathedral of Quietus, and wandering its dead woods is Rurik Reyne—the legendary Wolf of Ash. Born from a magical "mourning wound" and starving for a human anchor, Rurik is a creature of devastating, feral power. Victoria marches into the dark and binds the nightmare to her will, forging an ancient, sacred blood pact to unleash him upon her enemies. She believes she has secured the ultimate tactical advantage. She is entirely wrong. The pact is not just a leash; it is a bridge. As the bond intertwines their minds, Rurik becomes the physical manifestation of the agonizing grief Victoria refuses to feel. Every tear she suppresses, every scream she locks away, fuels the monster's chaotic rage. In a dark, gripping tale where political strategy collides with gothic romance, Victoria must face a chilling ultimatum: surrender to the vulnerability of her own shattered heart, or watch the beast she bound tear her entire world apart.Voir livre

Duty requires him to protect his people and eliminate the enemy, but love has other plans. Captain Halem was only a boy when the Breakers invaded Berush, but he has harbored hatred for them ever since. They are his enemies—enemies he has trained his entire career to defeat. When a company of Breakers ambushes him at a spring, he wreaks vengeance without hesitation until a fiery warrior with midnight eyes faints at his feet. Tasked with a dangerous mission, Obsidian must succeed, no matter the cost. As a member of a mercenary tribe, death would be preferable to failing to fulfill a contract. Injured and alone, she perseveres, but a stubborn Berushese soldier stands in her way. Near death when he finds her, Halem must choose to help Obsidian or lose the only chance he has to discover the Breakers' plans. Barely able to communicate due to their language barrier, her blatant pragmatism and his rigid views of honor make clashes inevitable. Can two people from such different backgrounds ever reach an accord, or will their opposing loyalties require the ultimate sacrifice? Surrounded by lies, treachery, and murder, Obsidian and Halem must decide who they can trust, or they will lose everything. Meanwhile, the Breaker army ravages the plains, depleting the natural resources and leaving destruction in their wake. Chysh and Van prepare the tribes of the Great Desert for battle with small hope of success. To avoid a devastating war, Chysh offers the Breakers a challenge, but it may cost him more than he wants to pay. When faced with a hard decision, will he slip into his old ways or will his limited Magi training guide him to the right path? Find out in Captain of the Sand.
