Bio:

Malik Varden is a towering, broad-shouldered man with the kind of hard, unshakable masculinity that turns heads the moment he enters a room. In another realm, he was born to become the strongest female warrior ever known, a legend forged in blood, steel, and prophecy. But when dark forces began circling his fate, his mother made the impossible choice to save him—sending him through a rift into our world, where he was raised as a boy and has known no other life. He grew up rough, fearless, and stubbornly independent, with a straight-arrow confidence, a deep love of women, and a taste for danger, drink, and adventure. Now on his 21st birthday, Malik is finally stepping into the night to celebrate, unaware that the forgotten power of his true heritage is about to wake again and drag him back into a destiny far greater than the life he knows.
