The Manticore’s Human Queen

She was supposed to be another soft human plaything.

A ward in an elven fortress. Beautiful. Fragile. Mine to despise. Until she slipped into my cage. Fed me. Healed me. Looked at me like I was still a man beneath the monster.

Now I’d burn her world to keep her. I broke their chains with my bare hands. She broke the ones inside me. Her touch rewrote my instincts — no longer to kill, but to claim.

I’m not the hero who saves her. I’m the beast who crowns her queen. She thought she freed a prisoner. She woke a god.

Read on for monster obsession, forbidden touch, cage-born rebellion, and a beast who worships the woman that burned the world for him. HEA Guaranteed!
