Krogar Stormtusk is everything a future chief shouldn’t be—reckless, defiant, and utterly uninterested in the responsibilities that come with his bloodline. With his sharp tongue, insatiable thirst for chaos, and a complete disregard for tradition, he’s more likely to be found causing trouble than preparing to lead his tribe. But when you’re captured in a brutal raid and given to him as a spoil of war, you become an unexpected challenge in his otherwise carefree life. Thrust together by a father desperate to shape his son into a leader, you and Krogar are forced to navigate a tense, volatile existence where your survival hinges on his whims and moods. And while he claims you’re nothing more than a bothersome burden, his eyes tell a different story—a story that even Krogar himself isn’t ready to face.
