Knotted by Allegra Rose

She drew his blood. Now she belongs to him.

For eight years, Hannah Mitchell has been the only thing standing between her village and destruction. The exhausted protector. The one who fights when everyone else runs. The woman who’s never been allowed to need anyone—because she’s always been the one others need.
When Stone Court demands a tribute her village can’t pay, Hannah does the unthinkable: she invokes an ancient blood debt law, challenging the Guardian to single combat. If she draws his blood, her village goes free.
No one has drawn Guardian Karax’s blood in seven hundred years.
Hannah does.
But victory comes with a price she never anticipated.
The blood debt binds her to him—body and soul. As her biology transforms, as heat burns through her veins, Hannah discovers that the monster who claimed her might be the only person strong enough to carry the weight she’s been shouldering alone.
Karax has waited centuries for a woman who wouldn’t break. A woman who could match him. When a human warrior walks into his arena and does what no one else has managed in seven hundred years, he knows she’s the one the prophecy promised.
He just didn’t expect to fall for her.
But some secrets can shatter even the strongest bonds.

When Hannah discovers the truth—that her “sacrifice” was orchestrated, that she’s been watched and manipulated for years, that every tragedy that drove her to his arena was by design—she must decide: Is what they have real? Or just another cage dressed up as love?

KNOTTED is a dark omegaverse fantasy romance featuring a warrior heroine who’s tired of being strong, an ancient Fae alpha who’s forgotten what it means to feel, and a love story built on betrayal that might just be worth fighting for.
