Kneel Before Me (Standard Edition) (Split or Swallow, 3)

Daphne Verus never intended to be a pawn in a royal game, but destiny has other plans. When she is thrust into the dark, hidden world beneath the mountain, she finds herself under the tutelage of Kronos Seneca.

Yet, within the shadows of his cavernous lair, he is the only one who truly sees her, offering a protection she has never known.

This gripping urban fantasy explores the volatile tension between duty and desire.

This unexpected restraint creates a magnetic, high-stakes dynamic that threatens to unravel everything they hold dear.

Perfect for fans of shifter romance, this story weaves a decadent tale of forbidden love and royal intrigue. As their connection deepens, the line between predator and prey blurs, forcing them to choose between their duty to the crown and a passion that could destroy them both.
