In this unsettling dark fantasy, a young woman brutalized and abducted by one of her husband's orc slaves struggles to survive a world of monsters and nightmares.
"Death is not easy. Life is not easy. You choose which misery. There is nothing else."
Mia Vernon is everything the daughter of an Earl in the realm of Men should be: beautiful, dutiful, and above all things, obedient. But in the world of Men, beauty is a curse, duty leads to destruction, and obedience forced if not offered. When she is married to a man notorious for his cruelty, Mia finds her obedience tested, the punishment for rebellion horrific, and in one brutal and terrifying night her mind and soul shattered at the hands of a monster.
Abducted by the same creature that brutalized her, Mia fights the bond growing between them, certain her trust will be betrayed once again. For the orc who took her is not what he seems. The Iron Mountain whispers of the secrets he keeps, of what she truly is to him, and the reckoning that is sure to come if he refuses to give her up.
In the world of Men and Monsters, fated love begets blood and horror.
