The Blood Crown
Love was never meant to be kind. It was war-brutal, unrelenting, and impossible to escape. Ermin never believed in love. Not after watching it destroy her mother, not after learning that trust was a weakness in a world that only took and never gave. But when she saves a wounded stranger, she doesn't realize she has just sealed her fate. He is dangerous, powerful, and bound to a past that drips with blood. And yet, no matter how much she tries to push him away, he keeps coming back. "Even if you hate me, you'll never be rid of me, Ermin." "I would rather die than belong to you!" "Then prepare to die a thousand times over because, I will never let you go." Their love is not gentle-it is possessive, reckless, and built on the ruins of everything they once knew. But in a world where power is everything and betrayal is inevitable, will they fight for each other-or become each other's downfall? But in a world where power is everything and betrayal is inevitable, will they fight for each other-or become each other's downfall? Ladies, he is what all the grand fuss is about.
