Orc's Redemption

One alien warrior crossed enemy lines to rescue me.

The other served the monster who locked me in a cell.

I refuse to choose between them.

Elara's undercover mission inside the Urr'ki city ends in blood when the Shaman's guards murder the man sheltering her and drag her toward the black tower. Injured, isolated, and marked for a purpose worse than death, she has only one fragile thread of hope.

Z'leni.

The young Urr'ki guard should be another enemy. Instead, he braces her broken ankle, brings her food, and repeatedly risks the Shaman's wrath to keep her alive. Every act of mercy pulls him closer to a choice that could cost him his home, his honor, and his life.

Ryatuv makes his choice the moment Elara disappears.

The powerful Zmaj warrior disobeys his Al'fa, infiltrates the enemy city alone, and is captured for the chance to reach her. He knows Elara is his treasure. He will endure chains, torture, and death before abandoning her.

Then the Shaman orders Z'leni to execute Ryatuv.

Z'leni turns his blade on the Maulavi instead.

Their escape forces three people raised to fear one another into the forbidden tunnels beneath the city. The Paluga is awakening. The mountain is cracking apart. And survival means trusting the rival warrior each man has been taught to hate.

Ryatuv is fierce, possessive, and certain Elara belongs with him.

Z'leni is clever, conflicted, and willing to betray everything he once served to protect her.

Elara wants them both.

She will not let ancient hatred decide the shape of her future. As danger drives the three of them closer, rivalry becomes respect, desire becomes devotion, and their impossible bond becomes living proof that Human, Zmaj, and Urr'ki can build something stronger than war.

But escaping captivity is only the beginning.

The Shaman is preparing another sacrifice, and his infernal machine is feeding the creature beneath the mountain. Elara, Ryatuv, and Z'leni must return to the heart of the enemy city, sabotage the machine, and survive the firestorm that follows.

While they fight below, exiled Queen Rani faces a different battle. To save her people, she must forge an alliance with the cavern Al'fa, the proud Zmaj leader who has every reason to despise her. Their negotiations begin with threats and challenges, but the attraction burning between them may become the bond that unites two ancient enemies.

One woman. Two alien protectors.

One exiled queen. One enemy leader.

Two romances that could change the future of Tajss forever.
