She however is human: she was found crying in the forest by her adoptive father when she was a child. Verdict: decent-ish grovel, and a heroine who was definitely a lot stronger than I expected.Ģ9-year-old Maeva is an aspiring healer in the saruk, a village inhabited by Dakkari aliens. Nevertheless I’ve heard that Zoey Draven writes a good grovel, so I was keen to see how it went. I did know, going into this book, that there would be tropes I don’t like: virgin heroine, heroine celibate while hero screws around, etc. The hero deserved a good smacking on multiple occasions, but the heroine was EPIC. I promised myself I’d never love him again.īecause he not only wants my love again…he also demands me as his queen. With molten eyes like sin and a body made for war. And just when I began to believe he returned my love…he shattered me so completely and never once looked back to see how I’d survived. His mischievous smile and golden eyes made my heart flutter and my soul sing. For he was destined to become the greatest horde king of our time. When I was a child, I fell in love with a Dakkari boy. When he discovers my ultimate betrayal, the enraged horde king vows he will take me as his prize, that I will wear his chains, and that I will serve him in whatever way he wishes.Īnd as the dangers on Dakkar loom, I find myself craving my wicked, wicked ruin…all at the hands of a horde king I should’ve never crossed.Nine years ago, he broke my heart and never returned. Instead of fear, I feel hot and unwanted desire, awakening instincts that tell me I’m his.
Yet when I offer myself to him, all under the premise of luring him back to the witch, his touch sets my blood on fire. Only the horde king in question is the fiercest male I’ve ever seen, with glowing demon eyes, a god-like body crafted in battle, and a cold, cruel grin that promises destruction. Instead, she finds herself wearing his chains…Īs a fatal curse continues to spread over the planet of Dakkar, I make a deal with an alien witch who claims she can stop it.
To save Dakkar, she must lure him to his deadly prison.
