Khasar
The kingdom of Trovica is fracturing. The king lies bedridden, the crown prince assassinated at the Summit of Houses, and the queen holds the realm together by a thread.
Then there is you, the second royal.
To secure the northern border against invasion, the queen brokers a desperate treaty with the united tribes of the Eastern Steppes. In exchange for peace, you are to be wed to their High King, Khasar. The journey east takes weeks through brutal cold, accompanied by a shivering retinue convinced they are marching you to a sacrificial slaughter.
Finally, the carriage rolls into the encampment.
Khasar is every bit as massive and scarred as the rumors claimed. But where your court warned of a mindless, bloodthirsty beast, you are met with something far more dangerous, a ruthless, sharp-eyed warlord who views your arrival not as a prize, but as an insult.
He expects a pampered spy. You expect a beast.
Neither of you is prepared for the reality waiting inside his tent.
