Description
She married a king who broke a kingdom. Now the orc who conquered it wants to build one with her.
Elara didn't choose to be queen. She chose to survive -- through a cruel husband, a crumbling kingdom, and a war she saw coming years before the first drum sounded.
When Orc King Thorne Blackriver breaches the city walls, he doesn't come to burn. He comes to finish the canal her husband sabotaged. The one that was supposed to feed both their peoples. He offers peace. Roderick chooses pride.
Now Elara is a captive queen in her own palace, caught between a husband who calls her useless and a conqueror who listens when she speaks. Thorne is everything Roderick isn't. Steady, brutal when he must be, gentle when it counts. And he looks at her like she's the only person in the room worth hearing.
She knows she should keep her distance. She knows touching him is treason. She knows the border lords are sharpening swords and her husband is plotting escape.
She touches him anyway.
Because some things are worth more than a crown. And some monsters are more honest than kings.
