The Labyrinth
A Dark Monster Romance
In the ruins of the old world, monsters rule. And she just stole from the deadliest monster in the city.
In the gray dust of a dystopian wasteland, Rissa lives by one rule: feed her family, or die trying. But when she scavenges a relic ring from the restricted zone, she draws the attention of the one creature she was taught to fear. Monster. Ten is the king of the Labyrinth—a brutal, hulking beast who rules the iron-walled fortress through blood and absolute discipline.
He didn't come to the wasteland looking for a human woman. He came to reclaim his property.
When Ten hauls Rissa into the depths of the Labyrinth, her fate is already sealed. She is a commodity to be broken and sold into the breeding pits to settle her debt. But inside the cold stone walls, the power dynamic shifts. Rissa doesn't cower. She fights. And her defiance ignites a dark, possessive hunger in Ten that threatens the very foundation of his rule.
By keeping Rissa for his own pleasure, Ten is breaking the laws of his kind. As their forbidden connection deepens into a game of power and submission, Ten begins to doubt everything he was ever taught about humans.
But Ten’s rule is not without conflict, and some monsters have been waiting years to find a weakness. A weakness quickly surfacing in his obsession of Rissa. To survive the rebellion, the King and his thief must decide what’s worth more: the crown he wears, or the woman he’s willing to burn his world to keep.

Desperate to find something wrong with her newest obsession, Alora turns to her dark side. Stalking Alexander's every move might not make sense to the average person, but Alora has never been average. And if she can just find one thing wrong with Alexander, she can move on with her life.
