Hitched to the Mapinguari

When genetic compatibility becomes a death sentence, love becomes an act of rebellion.

Healer Kalyndi never wanted to be matched with a monster, especially not the towering, terrifying mapinguari warrior who could crush her with one massive hand. But Magnus Terra's "peace" program doesn't care about consent, only about creating the perfect hybrid offspring for their secret agenda.

War Chief Redmon has spent years advocating for human-monster cooperation, but being forcibly mated to a defiant human woman who despises everything he represents wasn't part of his plan. When Kalyndi's sister is matched to a brutal Fanghorn warrior, their reluctant alliance becomes something deeper and far more dangerous.

As they uncover the horrifying truth behind the matching program, children stolen from parents, genetic experiments, and a breeding scheme designed to create superhuman soldiers. Kalyndi and Redmon must choose between the safety of compliance and the perilous path of resistance.

Their fake marriage becomes real love. Their obedience becomes rebellion. And their fight for freedom will reshape the future of two worlds.
