Book excerpt: What was once a game of life and death is now a game of power and revenge. The tables have turned. Zirah, once a pawn, now stands tall like a queen. Their cruel game meant to break her has instead remade her. She's become steel wrapped in silk, a force to be reckoned with. The Lycan Kings, stripped of their titles, now fight not for a throne but for the favor of the queen who mastered their savage game. The throne is long forgotten, and the three kings only want one thing: their queen. Zirah wants revenge. And there is no better revenge than that served by a scorned queen. Now, the Kings face a new challenge because they're no longer hunters but the hunted, trapped by their own cruel fate. Now, they are prey to their Lycan Queen.
