#1 New York Times-bestselling author Tricia Levenseller returns with another dark, sexy romantasy featuring a powerful female warrior charged to protect the prince who once rejected her from a deadly stalker.

Ydra is known for two things: her skills with a bow and her unusual harem. For years, Ydra has performed her duties as commander over the queen’s armies while using her harem as a front to provide safety and stability to young boys who need it. When she needs actual companionship, she frequents the local brothels, but she’s losing her taste for docile Amarran men.

Canus, third-born prince of Brutus, has been fighting a darkness inside him, and now that darkness has attracted foul attention. When an “admirer” leaves a bouquet of fingers in his bedroom as a courting gift, he’s disturbed, but not worried about his safety – he’s headed to war after all. Surely no one would bother to follow him across country lines.

When Princess Olerra asks Ydra to follow the prince to war and keep him safe, she agrees. After witnessing her friend’s happiness over her new marriage, Ydra decides it’s time for her to find and kidnap a husband, per Amarran tradition. A Brutish war camp is the perfect hunting grounds. The problem is that Canus fights her every step of the way. The prince feels he doesn’t need protection (he absolutely does), especially from a woman who seems to bring out a hunger in him that could lead to Canus losing himself to his darkness entirely.
