Bound to the Orc King

I was born noble, raised to guard my people with words and wit. But no council training could prepare me for this bargain. To end the bloodshed, I was promised to the Orc King.

He is everything they fear: towering, tusked, his presence a storm that silences a hall. He claimed me before his court with fire in his eyes and iron in his voice, swearing I was not tribute but Queen. Yet behind his command, I saw the loneliness he carried, the shadows of a kingdom fractured by rebellion.

In his palace, I found not only scorn and suspicion, but also the other human brides—radiant, fierce, loved. Their strength became my anchor. Their joy became my hope.

And when war rose against us, I stood at his side. Not as pawn. Not as prize. But as mate.

Now fire and steel will decide the fate of our people.
And in the ashes, I must choose not only survival—but love.
