A warrior princess sent on an impossible mission, the prince who decided she was worth saving, and the evil that will tear their world apart...To punish me for being born with the gift of foresight, my father ordered me to invade bear country, knowing I would never return. The frozen forest took every one of my men, leaving me clinging to life. Still, Prince Joseph embraced me, forcing me to live amongst his people to give me a fresh start.When the long-gone king returns from his quest to save this world from evil, Joseph honors him by instituting an ancient rite...the mating chase.Now a citizen of this backward land, I'm forced to run with the other unattached women. With twenty minutes to get as far away as possible before they release the men, I can taste my freedom just beyond the horizon.But just as I step foot past the territory border, a force from out of nowhere knocks me to the ground.Gold eyes, like the sun coming over these mountains, stared down at me, and The Mighty laid his claim.Claimed is a book from the series Stories from the Realm, a collection of dark paranormal romantic fantasy stories.
