Orc's Auctioned Mate

On the midwinter full moon, I am dragged by bandits from the only home I know and stood on a chair in a tavern under the gazes of despicable men bidding on my innocence. But then the shadowy figure in the corner calls out the winning offer, and I realize he is like no one I've ever seen before.

Now I belong to Torvolk, Ranger of the Bloodfire Clan, and neither of us knows what this means. He's taken me through the pathway in the standing stones to his world, where I discovered naught is as it has always seemed. Torvolk has a mission, and the longer I spend with my new keeper, the more I realize I might be able to help him.

The way he's helped me.

Warning: hot new orc romantasy with a grumpy/sunshine vibe, an innocence auction trope, and a delicious world you're going to fall in love with. Have fun!
