The fae Duke of Night doesn’t believe in love, but politics demands he claim a mate.
To prevent a disastrous forced union, Night must bond with his true mate. When he discovers Rain, a reclusive forest witch, he knows she’s the one. But Rain wants love, not a marriage of convenience.
With war threatening his court, Night can’t afford to wait. Rain, however, refuses to be a pawn in his political game, leaving Night with a desperate choice.
As the danger escalates and time runs out, the duke is left with one option: take his bride by force.
Will his bold move win her heart, or spark the war he sought to avoid?
