They call him the bone king. A massive, beast of a male who worships the gods and is all too willing to provide them their sacrifices. Human sacrifices. He and his warriors have come to visit Winterbren, a poor little village on the outskirts of Wrath and my home. I've never been more grateful to be a thrall, for my low status will ensure that I remain outside of his notice. But when he requests - nay, requires - a willing female to warm his furs for the duration of his stay, his selection falls to me. All I can do is pray to the gods that I survive the night... And beg the bone king for mercy. This book contains dark themes, including a Black woman in the position of thrall, graphic depictions of torture, non-con, and discussions of early childhood abuse. A full list of warnings can be found on my website.
