Bardic and the Beast: A Monster Fantasy Romance

After harsh years as a mercenary, Garrak found the peaceful life he had longed for. But the King of Baratha isn’t kind to orcs, and most don’t survive his wrath. In a blink, Garrak’s clan was annihilated, his brother killed, and his freedom taken. Now, with blood on his claws and revenge in his veins, he’s determined to raise an army to kill the one who took everything, King Amon. Only one problem. The map that leads to his escape is in a language he can't understand. Even worse, the one who can is a boastful bard who insists he takes her along. Ridley is prideful, takes nothing seriously, and her recklessness knows no bounds. But her bubbly joy is contagious and her beautiful song is enchanting. Surely, that’s the work of the tincture Amon had forced down his throat. One that makes his mating frenzy rise and claim a mate. But Amon has taken too much already. Garrak won’t let him take his choice as well. Ridley knows how dangerous Baratha is for an Ignis. Even though her fire magic has atrophied, the terror of The Sanctuary is always close at hand.
