[COMPLETE] What life is left for a warrior when there is no more enemy to fight?

...He knelt before her in the posture of a soldier giving honor to their Queen. And she didn't even know it.

“Harth," he rasped, "I come empty-handed. I bring no weapon. Because I swear to you, I will never choose to harm you. Never draw your blood—in anger, or in fear. I bring no shield. Because I vow I will never defend myself from your eyes, your hands, your mind. I am yours.”

After a year of peace in Anima, Tarkyn finds himself... lonely. As the Captain of the Queen's Guard and a lion-shifter, he has met every female in the tribes, but never found his mate. Certain he must have overlooked someone, Tarkyn undertakes a grueling ritual, pleading with the Creator to reveal her. But the ritual presses him to the end of even his formidable strength. 

Yet, the Creator heard his cry...

Discovered on the brink of death by his mate, Harth, and nursed back to health, Tarkyn now faces the most difficult battle of his life. Because Harth isn’t just a stranger to the Anima, she is a weapon of the humans who tried to destroy them.

Can the love of a warrior and his enemy bring peace to Anima? Or will they be torn apart forever by war between their peoples?

STANDALONE STORY: While Tarkyn's story is a part of the Anima world and fans will be reunited with some of their favorites as side-characters, Tarkyn and Harth are new POV characters and their story is a new plot arc, so their story can be enjoyed without reading the previous books! But please add Falling in Love with the King of Beasts, and Taming the Queen of Beasts to your library to enjoy later!

Mated to the Warrior Beast

He'd stepped too close and gotten too pushy. Elreth did raise her brows at that.

"You ask me like you have a say in whether I can be here, Tarkyn," she snapped.

"No, I don't," he ground out. "I just… tell me what's going on? Why does my mate smell afraid?"

But Elreth just rolled her eyes. "What's going on is that my brother admitted to his role in getting Zev loose—thanks for not trusting me with that, by the way," she said flatly. Tarkyn shot Gar an alarmed look—had Gar told Elreth that he was involved? But the male just gave a little shake of his head that Elreth either didn't notice, or ignored. "But it looks like there were others at work, too. Someone helped Zev get loose, and took Jayah. We still aren't sure whether she was hurt, or just taken prisoner. But the fact that the Chimera got inside our patrols is terrifying."
