She spent a night with a monster. Then she saw his face…

In a world of orcs and men, artist Daisy Carlyle is about to lose her career, her relationship, and all her dreams. And when she seeks refuge in a deep cave, she just wants a moment alone to draw, to escape…

Until the cave collapses and traps her inside.

With an orc.

There's no way out, and now Daisy is stuck in a dark stone prison with a deadly, terrifying stranger. A stranger whose face she can't see, and who only speaks in a deep, foreign growl.

But... she can understand the softness in his voice. The gentleness of his clawed hands as he comforts her. The strength of his lean body in the dark, tempting her into heated, dizzying dreams…

But then, morning comes. And in the light, Daisy finally sees the orc's face.

He's a wraith. A monster. A tall, gaunt, feral fiend, with shadows for eyes, and cryptic black marks scrawled all over his skin.

And even worse, he's ruthless. Notorious. An outcast among even his own people. And now that he's claimed Daisy in the dark, he has a cruel, devastating plan for her…

She's going to be his. Forever.

A dark, angsty fantasy romance with an intense language barrier and a powerful, possessive orc. Comes after The Widow and the Orcs, but also exists as a standalone. Happily ever after guaranteed.
