As far back as I can remember all I’ve known is war and pain and death. <br> <br>My mother always told me our people came into this world fighting and went out the same way. Only, something inside me died along the way; the desire for victory and destruction is no longer my muse. <br> <br>Lost, I returned to the only place that felt like home since my own was destroyed long ago. <br>And that’s when it happened. <br>When she happened. <br> <br>Raven hair and emerald eyes that hardened and melted me with one look. Lush hips and womanly curves called for me to do something I’d never before considered: make her mine, bind her to me, and I don’t even yet know her name. Her youth deserves better than a scarred monster ravaged from years of battle. <br> <br>Still, deep down I know she is my destiny. But, when cruel secrets and painful history come to tear us apart, I find my true purpose. To settle old debts. To lay waste to those that wish to harm her. To secure that which was stolen from her. <br>To topple kingdoms to keep her. <br> <br>Forever. No matter the bloodshed. <br> <br>Readers: Fall into the first standalone in the Fated Royals series by Dani Wyatt and Nikolai Andrew. It’s a mix of modern with a historical, devious vibe that will leave you smelling the thistle and reaching for a cool mug of ale. It’s a Kindle melting story with villains and victory. Safe with no cheating, and always a happily ever after. <br>
