Wrath & Desire

Darrow is raw power exemplified.
He is full of secrets and pain.
The dark elf isn't satisfied with only marrying me.
Oh, no. He wants it all—my body, heart, and soul.
I must resist despite being his fated mate.
Because if I don't, he could break me, and I'm already at my limit.

Aella is everything I'm not.
She is full of compassion and resilience.
The half-druid's grace and odd fondness for plants bring me to my knees.
Though I cannot love her, I need to own her in every way.
She can resist all she wants, but I'll do whatever it takes.
No price is too high, even if it breaks me.

But now, war and death plague us.
My mother's people have invaded our realm with ruthless precision.
Our monarchy is at stake.
And a blight is rapidly spreading to kill the land.
Powerful forces are at work to divide our people.
I may wish I could focus entirely on my new wife.
But we must find a way to save our world.
Even if it means traveling to a distant one with its own dangers.
That is...if we can find a way there before the enemy stops us.
Somehow, they're ahead of us at every turn.

Note- This novel contains adult content, including graphic violence, foul language, morally-gray MMC, rough spicy scenes, torture, and divine astral projection/consensual body sharing between multiple characters (of a sexual nature).

Other content warnings- weird homicidal chickens, terrifying hordes of venomous frogs, sentient plants with murderous attitudes...actually, many flora and fauna are not what they seem in this world, so assume nothing and mentally prepare yourself for anything. It's fantasy. Immerse yourself in the madness or go find another genre.
