    Summary

    “We shall be married.” His voice was strong but without malice. She should have seen that coming.

    Alina laughed. She threw her head back and laughed at the absurdity.

    “It’s a perfectly reasonable request.” He echoed her words from earlier. “Rulers solidify treaties and ensure peace through marriages all the time.”

    She blinked. He was right. And he was beautiful when he was like this, impassioned, sure. She hated him for it.

    OR

    When Alina surrenders herself to save her people and everyone she loves, she finds herself at the mercy of the Darkling. To her mounting horror she realizes he isn't at all the monster he seems. Or perhaps he's exactly what he seems, but just not to her.

    Summary

    The Black Heretic has ravaged the Siberian Taiga communities for years as a ruthless raider. He and his band of Shadows are feared for good reason: they take what they want and leave everything else to burn. They say he's untouchable - that he made a deal with the devil for his success in war. He has only one goal: secure a good life for those he protects - however he can. Happiness is for men who can afford it, and the price has always been too high... until he meets her.

    Alina has lived as the adopted daughter of the Oretsev family since she was a child. She knows her place and is content with her prospects in life. That changes, however, when her adopted father makes a deal with the infamous Black Heretic: safety for their community... for a bride. Alina must now find her way in a new home with a new husband, a new language, a new community, and a new way of life.
