Like my sisters before me, the moment I turned twenty-three, my father announced a gauntlet. A fight to the death, where the most ruthless of the land could try to claim me as their bride. Desperate, I entered the gauntlet and fought for my own hand. But the mad king is a twisted monster who loves to play tricks, and now, instead of wearing a crown, I’m a prisoner, set to be executed for defying the king’s tradition. I start to fear that things can’t get any worse, but I’m quickly proven wrong when I’m shoved into a cage with a man I’ve never met before. Who knows why he’s in chains… but if he can lend me a hand, we might have a chance to escape this wicked fate. This Wicked Fate features a fan-favorite side character from the Dark Halos trilogy but can be enjoyed on its own. For fans of _The Witcher _and _Brave, _this fantasy romance, featuring a fierce heroine and a druid with Golden Retriever energy, is both steamy and swoon-worthy!
