Summary

Princess Sybil of Ikrania has been married off to her kingdom’s greatest rival, King Theron of Pherian, in an attempt to bring peace to their two kingdoms. Things are off to a rocky start when the King cannot look past the scars she hides behind her veil, and she discovers her new kingdom has enslaved all the werewolves of the land. Moreover, the young Queen cannot explain the irresistible attraction she feels to a slave in charge of her care. Will Sybil and her King learn to rule together or will secrets, lust, and betrayals pull her towards the man she can’t have?
