Willow didn't come to the wilderness to die. She came to find peace. But the deeper she hiked, the more the trees seemed to shift, swallowing the trail until she was nothing but a lost soul in a green labyrinth.
Then she found the hunters. Men who weren't looking for deer, but for something-someone-vulnerable. Willow thought her story ended in the dirt under their boots.
Until the King arrived.
Almost nine feet of bronze, bone, and ancient fury, he didn't just save her; he decimated the darkness. He is a nightmare from the stars, a silent executioner who never asked for a shadow. In the suffocating silence of the forest, he is the only thing that feels real to her.
He can rattle his blades and roar until the leaves shake, but as long as his heavy footfalls lead the way, Willow is safe from the monsters of her own kind. He wants her to run. He wants her to fear him. But she has already seen the worst the world has to offer, and she is staying right behind him.
