Painted Torment

"What am I then?" she asked, still not turning. "If I'm not a Queen, not a weapon, not a toy, and not a soldier. What am I supposed to be?"

Wren's father traded her life to King Kael for his own survival, a treaty of peace through marriage. Enduring the daily brutality and torment of being his wife and queen, the King methodically breaks her will, wanting her quiet and obedient. When dormant raw magic awakens within her, Kael sees more than a toy for his amusement-he sees a weapon to secure his reign, to fulfil his greatest ambition...

To awaken the God of War.

When she is kidnapped by the rebel leader, Bellamy, to use as bait for the King, Wren believes she has swapped one cage for another. Slowly, she realises the life she knew was nothing more than a painted lie, and as unwanted attraction grows between captor and captive, and the lives of her friends are in her hands, Wren faces a choice: embrace her power, become a dragon rider, and fight against the man who shattered her? Or surrender completely to the identity Kael carved into her flesh?
