Bride of the Shadow King

It takes a monster to save a lost kingdom.Speak the vow. Face your demons. Prepare to pay the price.And when they come for you, show them why you wear the crown.Now that I've reconnected with my power, Damien and I must fulfill the sacred promise we made—to his father, to the goddess, and to ourselves. We will take back Stygarde.But building an army from a population broken by war and starvation feels impossible. Every potential ally demands a price, and still our forces remain pitifully insufficient to face an enemy that holds our greatest weakness: Stygarde's children, innocent lives used as human shields to paralyze our every move. The dark elves know we won't sacrifice the defenseless for victory. They have no such scruples.Then we find him—an ally powerful enough to tip the scales in our favor. But his price cuts deeper than gold or land. He wants something Damien can never give, something that would shatter the trust we've built between us. We swore to save this kingdom together, but that oath may be the very thing that dooms us. To keep my promise to the goddess, I may have to break the one I made to the man I love.Contains mature themes.
