Corrupted by the Shadow King
(2025)(The first book in the Savage Castling series)
(A book in the Hope Runs Deep series)
A novel by Chelle C Craze and Maria Vickers
I am a ruthless man with a black heart. As a boy, I dreamed of the day I’d step into the role I was born for—leader of the Luna Cartel.
They call me El Lobo. ‘The wolf.’
Anyone who defies me pays the fatal price. Trust is earned and not many are deserving of it. Love…well, that’s an emotion that I rarely give to anyone.
I never expected her. When I was on the verge of walking straight into hell after being wounded, she pulled me back from the brink of destruction. Before her, I wasn’t vulnerable. Now, I am. It’s her. If my enemies find out, they will use her against me, turning her into a pawn in this sick game. She has to forget me. And she certainly can’t love me.
The problem is…I cannot stay away from her.
When an unseen force threatens her life, I will rip apart this city to find and protect her.
Some people think the King is the strongest chess piece on the board. But it’s the Queen.
