Description
Shapeshifters have been in an ancient rivalry against Vikings for as long as any realm can remember.
Zyra has always felt like an outsider among the other shapeshifters of Waylria. From the time she could shapeshift into a wolf, even her parents have distanced themselves from her, believing her a disgrace. But when her life becomes entangled with the brutal Viking she encounters in the forest outside her people's borough, Zyra sees an opportunity to prove herself.
Discovering the intruder is Riker-the Viking Prince of Sandire-Zyra is forced to return her sworn enemy home, where his father is waiting to execute him for treason. Refusing the Viking King's demand to return the runaway prince could bring a reckoning of blood and war upon Waylria. But going to Sandire brings far more danger than Zyra could imagine.
Swept into a staggering world of deceit, betrayal, and unforeseen passion, a forbidden attraction unravels in Forbidden Captive (Legends & Predators #1).
