She broke their laws. Now, he has come to punish her…

In my human settlement on the hostile plains of Dakkar, I am an outcast, a strange girl orphaned since birth, alone, and dreaming of a life I don’t have. I hunt to survive, though it is forbidden, though it breaks the strict Dakkari laws that we all must follow.

When my desperate actions catch the attention of a Dakkari horde king—a cold, powerful, and merciless warrior leader, with eyes like flint and a body like steel—he seeks to punish me…and he succeeds.

But then he does the unexpected.

Instead of taking my life, he claims me as his own.

He steals me from my village and brings me back to his battle-bred horde. There, I warm his bed. I make bargains with him on starry, cold nights. I look into his grey eyes and see not a monster, but a demon king who captures my soul.

But demons have a way of never letting go…and as the cold season descends upon Dakkar, I begin to wonder if I even want him to, even when it hurts.

Claimed by the Horde King is a full-length SFR novel (95,000+ words) with an HEA. It is the second book of the Horde Kings of Dakkar series.

“I’ll take your ‘maybe,’ demon king,” I said softly to him. “Because maybe you’ll realize you can’t let me go. And maybe I’ll realize that I don’t want you to.”

Claimed by the Horde King by Zoey Draven is the second book in her Horde Kings of Dakkar series, and I’m absolutely obsessed with everything that is going on within this series.

Zoey Draven has quite literally created a masterpiece of a series, and I’m only two books into her backlist. It is too the point where I am low key beating myself up for taking THIS long to read her stuff. Her writing style is so inviting and powerful, and honest to god the way this woman develops her characters is literal chef kisses.

If you know me even a tiny bit, you know that one of my favorite tropes/microtropes in romance is a great grovel and a moment where the FMC is injured and the MMC takes care of her. With Claimed by the Horde King I got that and so much more. Seerin and Nelle’s story was such a beautifully done slow burn, that I genuinely ached for them to be together. Their growth as individuals makes their relationship within the story that much more powerful and I legit squeal just thinking about them.

If you haven’t picked up a Zoey Draven book yet, please let this be one of the things you listen to me about, and get to reading! I swear you are going to have a fun time.
