He needs her to claim the realm that should have always been his.

I always wanted to belong, but I never meant to belong to him.

Bartending in a dive across the river from the city isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. One night, after a scuffle with rowdy customers, a stranger named Alaric steps in. He’s no ordinary man—dangerously beautiful and skilled in combat. After saving me, he asks a simple "Are you alone in the world?"

I answer honestly, but it’s a mistake.

Alaric kidnaps me to another realm, where I’m the only human and prey in a harsh, unforgiving world. He needs me as his mate to claim his destiny, and I’m powerless to resist. His charms are impossible to fight, and as long as I stay loyal, I’ll be safe.

But how can I stay with someone whose hunger for power outweighs his need for me?
