Synopsis
I MEANT TO CAPTURE THE PRINCE’S HEART... AND ENDED UP WITH A KING’S. My desire to sit upon the Lucin throne led me to revive an ancient, winged monarch; one I deemed a friend until that friend duped and imprisoned me. Lorcan claims he’s holding me captive for my own safety, but then he also claims I belong to him. Slumbering for five centuries has evidently given the Crow King severe delusions. We may share an unfortunate mind-link, but we are still masters of our own destiny, and I intend to steer mine away from the Sky Kingdom and its prophecies... away from him. I quickly find out there is no escaping the possessive male. In all honesty, I’m no longer certain I want to.
