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

Helio plopped on the ground as he clutched his chest. A hidden guard suddenly appeared and helped him up. The revelation was too much for him to take.

He cast a complicated look at the two people who were kneeling on the ground.

"Aurora, you are right.  This matter is between you and him, so I will leave it up to you to resolve.  You are a willful child.  You caused your mother heartache. You disappeared for more than fifteen years and came back like nothing happened.  As to why you disappeared, I finally know. Things could have been simple if you told us the truth in the beginning."

With a flick of his sleeve, Helio left without looking back.

Zelenum got up from his knees. "Aurora, get up."  He pulled her up and gathered her in his arms.

"I'm sorry I caused you to suffer. It is all my fault. I do not deserve your forgiveness." Zelenum's heart ached.
