About the Book
Didn’t your mother warn you not to venture into the woods?
I ran where I could. I was being hunted.
Was? Surely you realize you still are, little prey.
They came in the night and demanded blood for their protection.
Despised on sight everywhere she goes, Stova is the first to be offered as a sacrifice to the crown. She has no choice but to run into the dark, twisted woods bordering the city of light.
Captured by the depraved folk, enslaved to their wills, every day is a new test of her strength, and the dark king who owns her seems to want nothing more than to see her fail and then feast on her corpse.
She’ll survive, if only to spite him.
Vess knows better than to get involved with the thing that begged to be admitted into his court. If it had been up to him, he would have let her rot at the borders, but she’s a creature of darkness, and all laws of nature demand he let her prove her worth.
At the dawn of war with the south, and with their high queen incapacitated, the high king’s hand sees Stova as one of two things: a distraction or a trap.
Only once in the hundreds of years he’s lived through has he craved a woman as much as he craves her.
Which makes her his worst enemy, no matter how delectable she tastes.
Depraved to the Bone is a dark fantasy romance.
