Highest Bidder
(2027)(The first book in the Auctions of the Ageless Country series)
A novel by Sarah Spade
What would you sell to survive? What would you pay for your everything…
In a world full of monsters and myths, I’m a nothing. A nobody. A powerless human who has only one chance at surviving: finding myself a household willing to take me in. And I do… until the master of the house decides that I should service him in all ways.I disagreed, and I made sure he knew it. Of course, that means that my survival is even more in question now that I’ve been tossed out of the human realm and right onto the edge of the Ageless Country. The monsters who dwell there are the ones who rule our world, and before I know it, I have to find a way to keep from being a part of their deadly games where mortals are little more than playthings.
I try my best, but eventually I’m caught and thrown up on the block. I know what comes next. Everyone in Taste of Death has heard of the auctions of the Ageless Country. Where desperate women are sold to the highest bidder, and the monsters are willing to pay a fortune for a bride.
When my foiled plot to escape means that I’m saved for the fiercest beasts with the worst reputations, I’m already planning my next move — and that’s when he wins the auction.
Isenrik. A frost giant with blue skin and icicles for hair, he’s twice my size and he’s decided that I’m his mate. Only he’s grumpy and doesn’t say much, and I can’t imagine why he picked me… but I discover the truth eventually and, oh, is it a doozy.
After that, it’s up to me to decide if I still want to escape back to the mortal part of our world — or if spending forever with Isenrik is worth all of the risks...
