Becoming a Barbarian
(2026)(The sixth book in the Savagely Sweet Barbarians series)
A novel by Amy Padilla
When the barbarians left Eldara, my king was glad to see them go.
They took with them many of the people he considered undesirable, and he expected prosperity to follow. Instead, trade suffered, towns struggled, and his coffers began to empty.
Suddenly, he wanted the barbarians back.
He sent an emissary to persuade the clans to return, and me to guard him. I expected the dangerous, uncivilized people I’d heard about my entire life.
Instead, I found a settlement that welcomed us with open arms.
And I found him.
A barbarian warrior who was fascinated by my armor, eager to test himself against me, and far too pleased every time he managed to knock me on my ass.
Sparring became shared meals, lingering touches, and stolen moments. For the first time, I began questioning everything I’d been taught about the people my king despised.
Worse, I began falling for the barbarian I was supposed to leave behind.
I had spent my entire life following orders. But for the first time since I became a knight, I desperately wanted to disobey.
