The Craving (The Morrkai Chronicles #2)

They survived the blood moon.

Now they have to survive what comes next.

Seraphine has spent fifteen years being Untouched: composed, useful, controlled, and bound by a sacred Vow that leaves no room for wanting.But after one forbidden night with Varek, the massive Morrkai guard who became her stillness, her danger, and her undoing, the careful life she built around duty begins to fracture.

Varek is gone.

Removed from her door. Sent to the eastern garrison. Ordered out of reach.

But absence does not undo what happened between them. It sharpens it.

While Seraphine throws herself into work, diplomacy and perfect restraint, the world around her begins to close in. A political grievance becomes a formal charge. The Lunari Order demands answers. The Vow she has spent her life serving becomes the weapon used against her.

And Varek, half a day away and forbidden to contact her, faces a choice of his own: deny everything and save her standing, or refuse to erase the only true thing either of them has ever known.

They are no longer trying not to want each other.

They are trying to decide what the truth is worth.

The Craving is Book Two in The Morrkai Chronicles, a dark romantic fantasy series filled with forbidden desire, political tension, monster romance, slow-burn devotion, sacred vows, and a love that refuses to be made small.
