The Wolf King Reigns
The gods warned him to leave the white-haired beauty; desire answered for him, and he took her anyway. Rune finds her amid the ashes of a burning village-pale, defiant, already branded into the muscle of his dreams. She should have been a warning; instead, she becomes an obsession, a fever that settles in his chest and makes even the coldest nights burn. He brings her home, and what should have been a conquest becomes something far more dangerous: nights in his halls turn into a private war of possession-stolen kisses that sting like salt, fierce tenderness that bruises in the best way, and a hunger between them that marks them both more surely than any oath.
She does not surrender like the others. She meets his claiming with a stubborn flare, answering his rough hands with a quiet, damning will. His bed is a place of power and skin and whispered bargains, where tenderness and dominance collide and where both of them learn how far they will go to keep what they have stolen from fate. But desire draws attention as surely as it draws blood. The more Rune try to claim her, the sharper the envy gathering at his back.
While Rune and his warriors are drawn away on a hunt, greed and envy make bargains in the dark that unravel the life he's built. His uncle moves like a snake; whispers turn to action; and in the dead of night the island meylas-are taken. Drugged, bound, and shoved into the hands of slavers, they are dragged toward a fate that would break lesser men. The theft is a blade at Rune's throat, a humiliation that answers his possession with violence. When he finally realizes what's been done, the world has already begun to spin. Rune comes back like a storm-riding vengeance so cold it bites. He will burn the bargains that betrayed him. He will hunt the traitors who thought to profit from their betrayal. But the traitors have made a fatal miscalculation: they do not know the depth of his fury, nor the dangerous ally hidden at his side. Hakon isn't a man to be trusted. The slavers market is merciless. The hunt that follows is brutal and intimate, a collision of rage and longing. Loyalties are tested, crowns splinter, and old bargains are burned to ash. Secrets that should have stayed buried claw themselves free, and every choice forces them all closer to ruin or to a brand of salvation forged in fire. In the end it will come down to one truth: no god, no man, no force in this world will keep her from him-or from the bed where she finally chooses to stay. For fans of dark fantasy, Norse romance, and possessive alpha kings, The Wolf-King's Claim is a fierce and seductive tale where enemies become lovers and legends come alive. 18+Customer Reviews
