I'll be safe in the prince's bed, from everyone but him. I stole from a brutal street gang, and now they want me dead. There’s only one place they can’t touch me. The palace. But safety comes at the cost of my freedom. I'll sell myself as a courtesan, serve for five years, and leave with enough money to pay my debt. Crown Prince Adante wields his power like a knife, and when his gaze turns my way, I know he could destroy me. An innocent mistake earns his attention—along with bruised knees and a painful punishment. I should listen to the others. I shouldn't catch his eye again. But I've always courted danger, and in the prince, I see a chance at power and revenge. He loves to gamble—sadistic games of pleasure and pain. All I can wager are my body, mind, and soul. And I play to win.

She stole my right to rule beside her, as her king. Now I hold her leash. Queen Johanna. Beautiful, brave and loved by all the nation - except me. For six long months I’ve dreamed of punishing her for breaking our engagement. Now, like a gift from the Goddess, a rider arrives with news. Johanna has turned. She’s no longer human but a fae creature of dark magic. A changeling, doomed to be hunted, tamed and sold. And she belongs to me. I own the institute that turns wild fae captives into obedient playthings. Everyone clamors to buy Valentia's most valuable captive, and my little queen shows signs of dangerous power. My growing obsession threatens everything I've spent years building.

I've waited ten years to punish her. Ophelia, the Calder family’s untouchable princess, drove my sister to take her own life. Now I'm taking hers - and I'm going to make her my obedient little pet. All brothers must choose a Ward, and she’ll be mine. Forever. She'll dance at the end of my leash while her father's spies report every humiliating detail back to him. And when he comes for me, the Brotherhood will wipe him off the map. A perfect plan. Except it isn't. When Randall Calder demands my head in a box and the Brotherhood gives it serious consideration, I realize I've miscalculated. Now, my only hope for survival lies in the girl I've stripped bare, body and soul.

My initiation into the Brotherhood should be simple... take an innocent woman captive and mark her as mine. Becoming obsessed with her isn't part of the plan. I signed my life over to the Brotherhood before learning what they'd demand in return. I'd have killed for them without question, but they want something darker. Each Brother must choose a Ward. Eve is too sweet and naïve to corrupt, and yet she's the only one I want. I must stalk, capture, and train her to perfect submission, and I can’t tell her why. When she turns twenty-one, just two weeks before my initiation, I can finally take her. Until then, I'll watch. Plan. And make certain problems…disappear from her life. Two weeks, to teach her she belongs to me. If she misbehaves at my ceremony, I fail the Brotherhood’s final test. If I fail, I’m dead. But she's worth the risk. If you love Shantel Tessier and Stasia Black, you'll turn feral for the men of the Onyx Brotherhood - an MF, secret society contemporary dark romance.

To earn my freedom, I must submit. I’m facing years in prison. My crime? Exposing the sordid secrets of Dexia’s magical elite. In my oppressive territory, mages hold all the power, magical tech is outlawed, and sexuality is repressed. At my sentencing I expect a bored judge, but instead I get a crowd, reporters, and a handsome mage everyone seems to fear. He makes me kneel at his feet, and offers me a deal. Serve six months as his plaything, and leave a free woman. Shame burns through me, but I accept. He's Leopold Rahl, Dexia's new Lord Commander, the strongest mage in living memory. He's hunted me for months. He means to see me punished. And I’ve fallen right into his trap.
