Betrayed. Abducted. Bound by Vengeance.

Angel thought turning twenty would mean freedom—escaping the gilded cage her father built around her. But on the night of her birthday, she lost everything. Taken by Leoric, the man who had spent years plotting his revenge, she was meant to be nothing more than a pawn—a sacrifice to break her father’s pride.

But fate had other plans.

A mysterious vortex pulls them into a deadly new world—a land ruled by darkness, where power belongs to the strong and escape is impossible. The only way back? A tribute to the supreme ruler: a virgin bride.

With danger closing in and an unbreakable bond forming between captor and captive, Angel and Leoric must face an impossible choice. In a world where innocence is currency and survival demands sacrifice, will revenge still be enough?

Or will they become each other’s salvation?

The Tribute Bride

"Stand up, Zee. I said stand up." Aurora's voice was urgent as she grasped Zelenum's arm and attempted to pull him upright. Just as she strained to lift him, a shiver ran down her spine, alerting her to the presence of someone lurking ominously behind her.

"Uncle, why are you here?"  Aurora asked the Tribe Leader nervously.

Helio surveyed the scene intently, his sharp gaze locked onto the striking figures before him. One was tugging forcefully, while the other was kneeling in submission, eyes cast downward.

Zelenum lifted his gaze, his brows knitting together in deep confusion. Had he heard what he thought he had?

Aurora had just called Helio as "Uncle." The words hung in the air, heavy with unspoken implications, leaving him to question the very fabric of their tangled relationships.

"And why can't I be here?  This is my house, my garden. I am so full, so I went out to digest the food and get fresh air."
