He was never the villain they feared. He was the punishment their kingdom earned. For years, the people of Elysium whispered that their terrifying emperor had finally been leashed by a gentle queen. Ophelia softened the monster beneath the crown with warm hands, soft smiles, and a love powerful enough to make a tyrant kneel willingly at her feet. She became the mercy in a kingdom built on bloodshed. The shield standing between the empire and the beast wearing the throne. And then someone poisoned her. Now the queen lies unconscious. Their unborn child hangs between life and death. And the empire is beginning to understand a horrifying truth: Achille was never protecting Ophelia from them. Ophelia was protecting them from Achille. Because the moment blood spilled from the empress's lips, something ancient and merciless woke inside the emperor. The leash snapped. The restraint vanished. And the man who conquered kingdoms with fire and brutality remembers exactly why the world once feared him. The court is no longer a place of politics. It is a hunting ground. Every smile hides betrayal. Every ally looks guilty. Every servant, noble, and friend becomes a suspect beneath the emperor's cold gaze. Heads begin to roll. Bodies pile beneath the throne. And somewhere inside the castle, a traitor realizes too late that they did not poison a queen- They wounded the only thing keeping the empire alive. Now the kingdom prays for Ophelia to wake before another river of blood floods the palace halls. Because if she dies... The emperor will not stop until every nation burns with her.

Everyone expected the quiet princess to die. The tyrant king had buried wives before, and the fragile girl forced to marry him was supposed to become just another forgotten tragedy. But the soft-spoken queen does something no one expected. She survives. While the court fears the monster on the throne, she remains beside him calm, gentle, and far stronger than anyone realizes. At first, the king tells himself she is simply useful. Her mind is sharp. Her kindness dangerous in a palace built on cruelty. And kings protect what is useful. But the longer she stands beside him, the more the kingdom begins to notice something unsettling. The tyrant who trusted no one now watches her like she is the most valuable thing in his world. His words remain cold. His temper still deadly. But everyone can see the truth the king refuses to admit. The monster on the throne has fallen in love. And the quiet queen who was supposed to die has learned something even more dangerous The only way anyone could ever hurt her... Is by surviving the king who would burn kingdoms to the ground to protect what belongs to him. (Book 1 )

Highest Rankings 1 in #mythicalcreatures 1 in #werewolvesandvampires 2 in #pack 2 in #2018 3 in #matebond 66 in #romance Small electric sparks run down the length of my body as I look into his cold grey eyes, the moonlight illuminating them further and they flash brighter. He stands a few yards away, with his fingers clenched and his jaw set. A gentle breeze blows his dark chocolate hair off his forehead, showing his angry brows and glaring eyes. A slight shudder runs down my spine as his eyes dance down my body shamelessly. I blush thinking how I had done the same. Suddenly he takes a step forward and on instinct I take many quick steps back, putting distance between us. My heartbeat picks up, thumping louder as my blood pumps faster throughout my body. He growls lowly in warning as I take more hesitant steps away. I turn to the side when two strong arms stop me, I struggle against their holds at first until, but a chilling growl stops everything in its path. Instantly the hands let go and the two men back off. "Why are you running?" A deep voice asks, he stands directly behind me, gently caressing my arm, running his middle finger up and down twice. With my lack of response he grasps my left arm, shaking me with black filled eyes. "Why." He growls. "...t-they agreed that once they're safely back to you, that I c-could leave." My voice is quiet, I look down at the dirt embarrassed at my stuttering. He grips my arm tighter causing me to look up into his dark grey eyes. "That agreement has changed, mate."
