Ruthless Love by R.L. Caulder

Thrall. Dhamphyr. Empress.

Each is a title that has been thrust upon me, but there’s another I’ll willingly claim for myself: Malakai’s executioner.
He thought he could break me…twist me into his obedient pet–but all he has done is add to the list of reasons why I’ll find him and then kill him.
Of course, it isn’t that simple, and I have made many promises that I have to uphold.
To bring as many of our soldiers home to their families as possible.
To free the citizens of Malakai’s empire of his oppression.
To unite two empires under the mantles of freedom and equality.
Will my ruthless love be enough to end this for good, all while staying true to those promises?
It has to be.
