"Promise me Sadie, when you finally escape, you'll fight. Fight to live. Fight to love. Fight to be free." I am his champion. The crowds gather to watch me fight. Abused. Beaten. Starved. Confined to the dark. He created a monster. She's finally breaking free. My escape lands me in the clutches of a Fae who whispers sweet promises of his protection. So long as I do as I am told. He dares to dig his claws into me. The General will not stand in my way of freedom. If a dagger to the heart is what he seeks... then I'll drive it deep. My name is Sadie, and I will no longer be a victim. Dragons. Kingdoms divided by lies and betrayal. Pain. The day I find my mate inside this fighting pit... the entire kingdom better pray to the gods that she survives. I want what is mine. No one will stop me. The man who spent 25 years torturing my mate, dares to hunt her down. He offers our King a deal. Ten lives in exchange for one. For Sadie. If we refuse, he'll kill them all. As General and Rayne's right hand, I'd like to believe he would never betray me. But a war is brewing between the Kingdoms. Humans are smuggled through the border in exchange for loyalty. And we are on the losing side. But I've got a secret . One I was forced to hide. Keep your enemies close, and your daggers closer.
