I wasn’t about to bow to the will of a murderous king.His jaw clenched, the muscle ticking as his eyes raked over me. “You should thank me,” Ravok said. “I took you out of that filthy brothel and gave you a life better than you deserve. You were born to open your fucking legs for whoever tossed you a handful of coins”Something inside me snapped.The rage came fast and blinding, a violent surge that drowned out thought and fear alike, and I moved before I could stop myself.Slap!My hand cut through the air and struck his face with a sharp crack. The impact jarred my bones, a burning sting shooting up my palm and along my arm, leaving my fingers throbbing. T

Victoria’s POVThe royal mantle rested heavy on my shoulders as I walked through the corridor, its embroidered fabric whispering softly with each step.
