The Monster Made Her Queen

🔔

Gideon chained Cora to an altar and fed her to the Deep King. The monster didn't tear her apart. Soren unlocked her chains, kissed her, and gave her half his heart-stone so she could breathe the sea. She married him. She loved him. Then Gideon returned. He cut out Soren's heart and crushed the stone in front of her. Cora woke in the enemy's camp, poisoned again, stripped of everything—until she felt a kick inside her belly. Soren's child. The one they said could never exist. Now she carries the last of the Deep King's blood. The sea is calling her home. And this time, she's not coming back as a sacrifice. She's coming back as their queen.
