Feral Bond by Michelle Hercules — book slip

I was marked by the claws of loss and despair at a too-young age. Determined to never feel that hopeless again, I turned my body into a weapon and pledged my sword to the king who saved me.

I never thought my loyalty to him would waver until Cheryl Eriksson, a wolf shifter, came into my life. Now I'm bound to her, and not even death can sever that bond. She believes I protect her out of duty.

She doesn't know she's the reason I breathe. It's ironic that despite all my training to become a fearless warrior, I still can't find the courage to tell her the truth. But I'm running out of time.

It's time to leap off the edge before the dangers of Ellnesari claim both our lives.
