Persephone has always been my forbidden bride. She just doesn’t know it yet.

My word is law in my fortress kingdom, and the deals I make are unbreakable. Before she was even born, Persephone’s mother traded her as payment for her debts.

Now those debts are coming due.

When sheltered, innocent Persephone throws herself at my feet, she has no idea that she already belongs to me. All she knows is that I’m the most powerful man in the world.

And all she wants is the one thing she can never have: her freedom.

I’m the king of her nightmares. And she’s my new queen.
