Rise of the Wounded Dove

Princess Layla Eradellian survived captivity, war, and the kind of heartbreak that never fully heals.

Yet her court still expects her to sit still, look pretty, and keep her mouth shut with war on the horizon.

But Layla is done pretending. They forget she didn't survive by being obedient.

Prince Kain Drakaren was born to break rules, not enforce them. He swore he wanted nothing to do with thrones or politics. Yet he can't seem to stay away from a sharp-tongued, blade-wielding princess who makes him want to fight harder than he ever has.

She is his weakness. He is her temptation. And war is the worst possible time to crave each other.

But when Layla's fire calls to him, Kain answers with taunts, with teeth, and every wicked promise he's never dared desire before.

The realm is rotting. Gods are stirring. Desire is becoming the one thing that might ruin everything.

And this wounded dove is about to rise and ravage anyone who stands in her way.
