All I’ve ever wanted to do my whole life was go travel the stars. I never thought it would lead me to the Reapers. I was a stewardess on a luxury liner. Serving drinks and snacks to first class passengers who booked passage through the Helios Combine. That’s when the Reapers attacked our ship. Spoiled and soft, the rich passengers were no match for the fierce Reapers. They ate them alive and then turned to the crew. Their leader, a monster called Wick saw me and immediately claimed me as his. He told me I was made for him. That I would serve him. Every breath I took would be his gift to me. Something he could withhold whenever he wished. My master is savage. Cruel. Fierce. And frightening. But if I obey him, to me he is loving. Protective. Kind. His happiness is my happiness. It’s the way love was meant to be. Caged Bride explores a much darker and much more gritty Athenaverse than in other books. Readers should be warned that the situations inside this book are of a much darker variety than other books in the Athenaverse and should exercise caution. All books share the same universe and feature a happily ever after.
