The Orc’s Eager Captive (Bloodfire Orcs #4)

They called him a beast. He treats me like a queen.

I’m the least of my father’s daughters, barely more than a shadow in Tarbert Keep. But the dangerous orc chained in the dungeons looks at me like I’m his savior.

I should be terrified of Kragorn, Chief of Clan Bloodfire—with his vicious tusks and a past soaked in violence. Yet he’s the only male who’s ever made me feel… seen.

Surely it’s nothing but manipulation, a ploy to earn an extra ration of broth. Why else would a prisoner—my father’s most feared captive—speak to me of desire?

When his escape finally succeeds, he takes me as a hostage.

I suppose I didn’t struggle as much as I ought—my withered foot makes running difficult— and now he has taken me through the veil to his world, where I fully expect to be repaid in the same way he was treated.

But I am discovering Bloodfire Village is naught like Tarbert Keep, and I might be Kragorn’s captive, but I am not his prisoner. What else does he want from me…and am I brave enough to give it to him?
