King’s Bride

What woman wouldn't be happy to marry a prince? I am soon to be claimed by four, and I must be strong to weather what is to come.

King Vurkuris of the Drakoryans is dead. Now, against the backdrop of war with the ShadowFell, the four sons of King Vukuris battle among themselves as dragons- not only for the crown, but for me. For it is the way of the Drakoryan brothers to claim one human mate and share her between them. But the stakes are higher now that the king is dead.

While only one prince will be victorious on the battlefield and claim both the crown and the first night with me, all will eventually conquer me in the bedchamber with a combination of power and prowess.

But there is another battle, a silent one, and it rages inside me. My memories of being held captive by the ShadowFell are returning - memories that bring pain and make me doubt my ability to be a good queen. Will those memories drive a wedge between me and my mates?

Understanding those memories is a matter of life and death for the Drakoyrans, who must know the enemies next move and protect what is theirs, for within me may lies something special, something both sides need to win the war that threatens to destroy the Empire.
