A searing Lords of the Underworld tale by New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter featuring a beastly prince and the wife he will wage war to protect. He is ice… Possessed by the demon of Indifference, Puck the Undefeated is unable to experience emotion without pain…until her. According to an ancient prophecy, she is the key to avenging his past, saving his realm and ruling as king. All he must do? Marry her. She is fire… Gillian Shaw has suffered many tragedies in her too-short life, but the worst is yet to come. To survive a transition into immortality, she must give herself to a monster who both intrigues and frightens her…and become the warrior queen she was born to be. Together they burn. The more he learns about his clever, resourceful wife, the more he craves her. And the more time Gillian spends with her protective husband, the more she aches for him. But the prophecy also predicts an unhappily-ever-after. Can Puck defy fate to keep the woman who brought his deadened heart back to life? Or will they succumb to destiny, losing each other…and everything they’ve been fighting for?
