Ritual of the Wombkeeper - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

They didn't ask for her consent.

They asked for her body.

Every twelve years, one woman is taken from her village and brought to the cursed city of Mor'Kareth... to become the Wombkeeper-a living vessel bound to the Minotaur King in a ritual that sustains the kingdom's power.

No one survives it.

When Elowen is chosen, she refuses to break.

Refuses to kneel.

Refuses to become another whispered name lost to the ritual.

But the bond between her and the king is not what it should be.

It's stronger.

Deeper.

Dangerously alive.

King Vlad is not the mindless beast the stories warned her about. He is controlled. Calculating. Burdened by the deaths of every woman who came before her-and bound to a throne that demands her sacrifice.

He needs her to survive.

She needs him to stop the ritual.

But the closer they grow, the more the bond tightens-pulling them toward something neither of them can control.

Because if the ritual fails, the kingdom will fall.

And if it succeeds...

Elowen may lose far more than her life.
