"I saved his life with a lie. Now, I have to live it—or die in his bed." Noah Bennett is a nobody, a starving survivor in a kingdom of ice. When he finds the poisoned, half-dead King Ethan Walker in a frozen ravine, he makes a desperate, split-second choice to secure his future. He pitches his voice high, binds his chest, and claims to be a maiden named Abigail. He expected a reward and a quiet escape. He didn’t expect the King to wake up with a terrifying, soul-deep obsession. Now, the "Angel of the Ravine" has been brought to the palace in a carriage of gold and silk. Ethan Walker is a man of cold steel and dark hungers, a King who pampers his "Abigail" with a devotion that feels like a chokehold. He wants his savior. He wants a Queen. And he wants her—him—in his bed before the moon turns full. As the wedding bells toll, the stakes reach a breaking point: The Lie: One torn gown or one slipped word will lead Noah to the executioner’s block. The Lust: Ethan’s touch is electric, a "Good Turn Bad" obsession that makes Noah’s heart hammer for all the wrong reasons. The Trap: The King’s traitorous brother is watching, the General is suspicious, and the Silver Wolf of the north is howling for the truth. In a court of vipers, Noah is playing the most dangerous game in Aethelgard. He must navigate the King’s possessive "Silk Noose" while hiding the truth beneath his robes. But as Ethan leans in to claim his "bride's" neck, Noah realizes the most terrifying secret of all: The King might already know. And he might like the lie even better than the truth.

The Queen is Man ENDING
The heavy scent of scorched wild honey and crushed cedar wood drifted through the gaps in the thick pine logs, filling the kitchen before the morning sun even hit the valley floor."They’re awake, Noah."Ethan stood by the long oak dining table, his bare back to the hearth, his skin looking like pale marble under the soft yellow light of the whale-oil lamp. He didn't have his boots on. His large feet were buried in the dry rushes we’d strewn over the stone floor to keep the mountain frost out of the house. In his left hand, he held a wooden spoon, the handle carved with the small, jagged notches he used to count the days since we’d left the Western border behind."I can smell them from the well," I said, setting the heavy iron water bucket down by the wash-bench with a dull, hollow thud. I didn't have the linen strips around my chest anymore. The plain wool shift hung loose over my shoulders, the collar wide enough to show the smooth, white skin where the iron spikes of the throne had

The cold iron of the executioner’s block pressed against my cheek, the splinters tasting of old soot and the bitter grease of the city guard."Step back from the rope, lieutenant."Ethan’s broadsword didn't fall on Vane’s neck. The heavy iron blade whistled through the gray mist of the square, striking the center link of my wrist chains with a violent, white flash that sent a shower of red sparks into the slush. The iron rings shattered, the broken pieces clicking against the oak planks like dropped coin."You're a madman, Ethan," I choked out, pushing myself up from the wood, my fingers instantly checking the wet canvas wrapper against my ribs. The child was silent, his gray eyes tracking the silver glare that was still pulsing wildly in the corners of Ethan’s eyelids. "The council has seventy archers behind the fountain. If you don't sign the pardon, they’ll turn this platform into a pincushion before the sun clears the arch.""I’m not signing a pardon for a man who doesn't belong t

The cold limestone floor of the hollow sent a sharp tremor through the raw wounds of the lower shoulder as the numbness of the poppy root finally cleared from the skin."Noah."Ethan surged upright in the dark, his hand automatically slamming down onto the dry dirt where the hilt of his broadsword rested. His fingers closed around the cold leather, but his left palm hit the sharp, warped edge of the silver collar instead of the soft wool of the merchant's shift. The cave bed was dead silent. The faint smell of sweet almonds and sulfur still lingered in the damp air, but the canvas wrapper was gone, and the small heap of dry thistles by the rock wall had been crushed flat by the boots of the guard."Noah!" he roared, his voice cracking against the low roof as he scrambled to his knees, his bare chest heaving under the gray coating of dried mud and ash.He didn't find the boy. He found a small scrap of parchment torn from the back of the Alchemist's book, pinned to the flat stone by the

The gray ash settled thickly onto the stiff, frozen fringe of the velvet hem as the heavy fabric of the dead queen's robe dragged across the shale."Tie the left knot tighter."The white linen strips bit deep into my ribs, flattening the last curves of the chest under the stained lining of the royal purple cloak. My fingers were so cold they felt like wooden pegs against the iron buckle of the clasp, but the black veins under my throat had gone entirely still, leaving nothing but a numb, hard ridge of gray skin where the river glass had been."You're too loose at the shoulder, Noah."The infant didn't make a sound inside the deep fold of the purple velvet, his small face pressed against the raw wool of my shift to keep the mountain grit out of his nose. I didn't look back at the dark crack where Ethan lay breathing in that heavy, poppy-druggied sleep, his hand still closed around the sapphire ring I’d left in his mud-stained palm."He's coming down the track!" a sergeant shouted from

"Eat it. It’s pheasant. The best in the realm."Ethan pushed the silver fork toward Noah’s mouth. The metal clicked against Noah’s teeth. The King’s eyes were like two chips of frozen sea, unblinking, tracking every microscopic twitch of Noah’s throat.Noah swallowed. The meat felt like a dry wad o

"You look like you're heading to your own funeral, Lady Abigail."Hannah Brooks didn't look up from the lace. She yanked the corset string. Hard. Noah’s breath left him in a sharp, pained hiss. His ribs, already screaming from the beating Lucas’s dogs had given him in the dark, felt like they were

"What the hell was that, Abigail?" Ethan’s voice cut through the air like a serrated blade. He stood over the shattered remains of the wine goblet, his boots inches from the red puddle. The liquid hissed into the grain of the floorboards, a dark, spreading stain that looked too much like fresh bloo

"Get your hands off the silk, I can do it myself!"Noah yanked the heavy, gold-threaded fabric away from the maid’s reach. His voice hit a pitch that made his throat ache, a strained, melodic reediness that felt like a tightrope walk. The girl recoiled, eyes wide, her hands hovering in the air like
