Synopsis
She broke their laws. Now, he has come to punish her... In my human settlement on the hostile plains of Dakkar, I am an outcast, a strange girl orphaned since birth, alone, and dreaming of a life I don't have. I hunt to survive, though it is forbidden, though it breaks the strict Dakkari laws that we all must follow. When my desperate actions catch the attention of a Dakkari horde king-a cold, powerful, and merciless warrior leader, with eyes like flint and a body like steel-he seeks to punish me...and he succeeds. But then he does the unexpected. Instead of taking my life, he claims me as his own. He steals me from my village and brings me back to his battle-bred horde. There, I warm his bed. I make bargains with him on starry, cold nights. I look into his grey eyes and see not a monster, but a demon king who captures my soul. But demons have a way of never letting go...and as the cold season descends upon Dakkar, I begin to wonder if I even want him to, even when it hurts.
