Draga & the Savage

Luminita

The physical scars of Vlad's abuse are gone, but I still feel his hatred on my skin. He has robbed me of so much more than time. He has stolen my instincts and replaced them with terrified impulses. Despite that fact, Aaron remains committed to securing my freedom, and...my heart. I'm unsure if such a thing still exists, but the moments of peace, contentment, and even passion between us give me hope. Perhaps in time, I can finally embrace this compelling connection between us, and admit my love for Sălbatic meu. Until then, I will do everything in my power to ensure that Vlad Dracul the Third learns to fear my name. My real one.

Aaron

 Staging the death of Katharina Dracul buys my Goddess time, but not true freedom. Vlad Dracul is unlikely to believe the lie, and his status as Wallachian royalty puts him beyond my reach. The infuriating realm of human politics is my only recourse to destroy the monster who continues to take and take. The task is arduous, but I find such solace in the simple moments with Luminita, peeking between the cracks of her mental armor. When John Hunyadi's youngest son, Matthias Corvinus, is crowned King of Hungary, I think the tide has finally turned in our favor. But Vlad Dracul finds a new weapon to use against me-doubt.

This is the 3rd installment in a supernatural historical fiction novella series that explores a tragic love story leading to villainy.
