Story Notes

Summary

They say behind every great man is a woman. But behind Queen Isolde, there is only blood. Isolde de Vane did not inherit the Crimson Throne—she took it. Known as the "Red Witch" for the rivers of blood she spilled to secure her crown, she rules with an iron fist and a heart of ice. She trusts no one, loves no one, and fears nothing. Except, perhaps, the man she just bought at the executioner's block. General Ronan Thorne was the commander of the rebel army, the only man who ever came close to killing her. Instead of executing him, Isolde spares his life and makes him her personal Queensguard. Everyone thinks she is mad to keep a wolf at her throat. But Isolde knows a secret: the only way to survive the vipers in her court is to have a monster of her own. As Ronan watches her from the shadows, he realizes that the ruthless queen isn't just a tyrant—she is a woman at war with the world. And he is starting to want to burn it down for her.
