One look from across the room was all it took. Henry was hooked and willing to do anything to meet and claim the woman with the golden hair and sky-blue eyes. Henry Fate brought Sarai to me, and then snatched her away just the same. Sarai was the daughter of my enemy. Fate had a sense of humor it would seem. A sick one too. Never one to give up, I entered the tournament of champions to win her hand in marriage. It wasn’t going to be easy. Her father was going to do everything he could to keep me from winning. But none of that mattered. I would have her. I always won, and Sarai was the prize. Sarai I didn’t want to be a part of any of this. My father thought that tradition mattered more than me. The tournament was going through, even though I begged for him to let me marry another way. I didn’t want the most brutal man as my mate. I didn’t think that’s what I wanted until my father’s enemy came to sign up. I watched him take out one opponent after another. I was ashamed to feel desire for him from his exploits. I didn’t want anyone to win, though Henry was the one that I secretly rooted for. He was working so hard to win me over, what would he do with me when he finally won and I was his?
