About This Book
He conquered her kingdom. He killed her father. He forced her to marry him.He also says please before he touches her, cuts his claws in case she'll let him, and spills in his trousers when she bounces against him on horseback. He's a tyrant. And he worships the ground she walks on.
Princess Caliane didn't ask for a monster husband with impeccable manners and she DEFINITELY did not ask for three knights who guard her body and worship it in equal measure. She didn't ask to be loved like she never believed possible, nor for her secret wounds to be gently exposed and healed with painfully loving care.
Once a wide-eyed princess with wounds she couldn't name, Caliane grows into a formidable queen who saves her husband and kingdom. When seven kings conspire to destroy them, she doesn't cry. She doesn't beg.
She takes their crowns.

About This Book
"Marry me, and I'll let your father live."
Princess Caliane is convinced she'll die. Her castle's gates are torn open, her father, the king, bound and gagged on his throne, and in his throne room stands the tyrant. His skin is gray, his teeth sharp, his hands tipped with black claws. When he smiles like a predator scenting prey, her stomach roils with terror.
The monster forces her to choose: her father's life for her hand in marriage.
Nothing in the soft, demure life of a royal princess has prepared Caliane for being a wife to a beast. His manners are abrupt, his language crude, and his silver eyes shine with wit. During the brutal journey to his kingdom, where humans are reviled, she is passed from warrior to warrior like chattel.
The tyrant has three knights—and they share everything.
As she moves farther away from home, she must untangle the mess of her painful upbringing and decide whom to trust and what to fight for. The princess might not have the strength to wield a sword, but her mind is sharp, and her monstrous husband and knights, terrifying though they seem, might turn out to be exactly what she needs.
This standalone fantasy reverse harem romance contains dark and adult themes. A complete list of content warnings can be found on the author's website.
