Rejected by the Alpha King, Claimed by the Prince of Shadows

By Elara Voss

When Aria, a lowly castle maid, is publicly rejected by her fated mate—the cruel Alpha King—she expects a lifetime of scorn. But when the mysterious, banished Prince of Shadows returns to claim her as his own, she's thrust into a deadly game of thrones, where her 'worthless' bloodline holds a power that could shatter the kingdom. Torn between a king who wants her dead and a prince who would burn the world for her, Aria must decide if love is worth the crown—or if she'll take the throne herself.
