Warrior's Prisoner

Raised beneath a brutal king's rule, Princess Runa has learned that a woman's survival depends on obedience. Her father's cruelty leaves little room for tenderness—and none for defiance. When warriors from an enemy kingdom arrive, she offers herself to their king to spare her mother and younger sister.

She expects captivity. She has been taught to expect far worse.

Bothvar, King of the Gierrer, is a formidable warrior whose people have long been despised by hers. Yet the man Runa fears begins to challenge everything she believes about strength, loyalty, and a woman's place. His unexpected tenderness awakens desires she scarcely understands—and the dangerous hope that she might be loved.

But love cannot erase generations of hatred. As betrayal threatens the fragile life they are building, Runa must find a voice her father taught her to silence. Bothvar must weigh the woman he loves against the kingdom that depends on him.

And a king who has always ruled through fear will not willingly surrender his hold on his daughter.

Warrior's Prisoner is a passionate fantasy romance of forbidden love, divided loyalties, and a woman discovering the strength to claim her own future.
