And if this King thinks I’ll kneel, he’s about to learn what a true Queen is made of.

When he gave her my sacred Luna ring and forced me to apologize after she deliberately injured herself to frame me. When Damon makes me sign papers and kicks me out of our home so Sophia can sleep in the Luna's chamber meant for my twins, I finally walk away. What he never expected was for his dying, discarded Luna to disappear with his heirs—and return more powerful than he ever imagined. Now I have a choice: die quietly in the shadows or make Damon Reed regret every moment he chose his mistress over his mate. It's payback time—and cancer won't stop me from destroying the man who broke my heart.
