Wild Princess with A Sword
He needed a wife before his throne collapsed under him. He didn't expect to fall in love with the woman who nearly killed him first. Oko Zung has ruled Okoah for two years, and his council has run out of patience: an unmarried king, they warn, is a kingdom without a future. Desperate and out of time, he rides alone into the forest — and finds Hymbak, a swordswoman raised in exile, the last daughter of a family his own bloodline once destroyed. She wants nothing to do with the land that cast her family out. But Zung is unlike any man she's ever faced — unafraid of her blade, unwilling to let an old wrong stand — and slowly, she lets him in. Their wedding should have closed the wound between two families forever. Instead, it opens a war. On their wedding night, a rejected prince with a stolen claim to the throne turns their joy into an ambush — and Hymbak wakes to find her husband gone, her kingdom leaderless, and an enemy who believes a crown is worth any price. She was never trained to rule. She was trained to survive. Now she'll do both — with a blade in her hand and nothing left to lose.
