SILVER

He loves her the way wolves love wounded things.

Faelynn has spent her entire life trying not to be noticed. As a slave of the North, survival means keeping her head down, obeying orders, and never catching the attention of powerful men-especially men like Silver. The North's new chief is cruel, coldhearted, and feared like a wolf among sheep. He despises slaves. To him, they are nothing but weak southern blood meant to serve the North until they die. So Faelynn avoids him at all costs. She lowers her eyes when he walks by. She keeps quiet when he speaks. But it doesn't last long.

What starts as punishment slowly turns into obsession. Silver can't understand why he wants her. He should hate her. He wants to ruin her one second and drag her into his bed the next. Faelynn is trapped between fear and desire while Silver spirals deeper into something he refuses to call love. Because men like him would rather feed her to the wolves than admit a slave girl has become the one thing capable of bringing them to their knees.
