THE CROWN OF ASH AND MOONLIGHT

BLURB:

On the night Hollowmere burns, Ysolde Varrane, the proud daughter of the fallen Alpha, is claimed as the spoils of war by Rhydian Voss, the Alpha King of the Blackthorn. By the old law she is his slave, locked in his tower and bound to obey, with her people's lives as the leash.

Rhydian wants to break her pride, but she will not kneel. The more he watches her, the more he needs her, and the more she sees that the monster she hates is guarding a secret. Her father's last words were, "They were never after the land," and someone opened Hollowmere's gates from the inside.

The crown forbids a king from loving the blood of his enemy. When the council demands Ysolde be handed to an allied Alpha, Rhydian must choose between his throne and the woman who was never really his prisoner.
