Daughter of the Gods

A bride needs to be chosen for the human King. Girls are dragged from their homes by their hair. Homes and belongings, destroyed-all in search of an unwilling bride. I'll be executed for treason if I refuse. But I'm saved by a dragon rider. The deadly Fae King. The fae are supposed to be deadly, lethal, and vicious. But the human lands are barren and cruel-not much is different between the two lands. But something sinister is stirring in the human lands.

I've been captured. Eryx and I have been separated, and our mating bond has been broken. I thought I could remain strong, but the longer I'm held captive, the more inside of me that seems to break. I'm afraid that when he finds me, he won't see me as the girl I once was, because I'm not. My heart is harder, and the need in me for justice has created a craving for bloodshed I never thought possible. The girl I am now is no longer okay with secrets, but that's all he seems to have: more and more secrets. Was our love a result of our mating bond? And now that it's gone, will we feel the same?

The Barren. The High Priest. The prophecy. Mating bonds. Everything that could have gone wrong did. With the threat of the barren, Freya's unknown location, and the High Priest looming over us, it's hard to rest, and Eryx and I are no longer. Mykill keeps telling me that he'll forgive me, but I know he won't. Our enemies continue pressing into us, trying to break us. And those I once considered allies prove themselves as foe. Will Mykill and I be able to partner enough to defeat them? Or will the crushing weight of our enemies flatten us?
