Knightqueen: Oronis Knights Book 3

On an alien planet, a queen and her battle-scarred guard are on the run from a relentless enemy. Carys of Oron, known as Knightqueen, has always prioritized her duty to her people and planet. Despite the tragedy of her parents' murder, she worked tirelessly to become a fair and devoted leader. Unexpectedly abducted by the brutal Gek’Dragar and imprisoned in a mountain stronghold, she finds solace in having her head knightguard, Sten, by her side. Sten, older and marked by battle scars, embodies duty and has always been a trustworthy companion. Unbeknownst to Carys, he is also the man she loves, though she has never confessed her feelings to him.

As her loyal knightguard, Thorsten Carahan has vowed to protect Carys at all costs. Despite his unwavering commitment to her safety, he struggles to suppress his feelings for the queen, who he views as too young, too beautiful, and too kind for someone like him. Now, having escaped the enemy's prison, they must traverse a perilous alien terrain. When they discover that the Gek’Dragar possess a deadly weapon aimed at the Oronis, Sten is determined to safely return Carys home. However, as they face constant threats, the boundaries between duty and desire become blurred.

Dependent only on each other, Carys and Sten's relationship evolves from one of duty and respect to one of illicit yearning and necessity. Their suppressed passion ignites, forcing them to acknowledge their undeniable bond and pushing them to question the lengths they are willing to go for their people and for each other.
