D’Vorak, King of the Gūla, loathes the "vile planet" Earth, but he needs the blood of its women to break the magical pact enslaving his people. He expected a simple kidnapping; he didn't expect Anna. The moment he catches her scent, his mission shifts from politics to primal possession. She is his fated mate, and he will stop at nothing to claim her, bind her life force to his, and make her his Queen.
Anna is a pre-med student who believes in science, not monsters. When a seven-foot "demon spawn" with leathery wings snatches her from the streets of Dublin and drags her through a vortex, she’s convinced it’s a drug-induced nightmare. But the stone towers of Uria and the imposing, silver-eyed beast in her bed are terrifyingly real.
In a realm where gargoyles rule the skies and dragons rain fire from above, Anna finds herself trapped between her desperate desire for home and an insatiable craving for the man-beast who demands her total surrender. D’Vorak offers her a throne and a lifetime of unapologetic dominance, but first, they must survive a world that wants to devour her.
Born in St. Louis, Missouri, Anya grew up listening to Cardinals baseball and reading anything she could get her hands on. She remembers her mother saying if only she would read the right type of books instead of binging her way through the romance aisles at the bookstore, she’d have been a doctor. While Anya never did get that doctorate, she graduated cum laude from the University of Missouri-St. Louis with an M.A. in History.
Anya is a bestselling and award-winning author published in multiple fiction genres. She also writes urban fantasy, paranormal romance, and contemporary romance under the name Maggie Mae Gallagher. A total geek at her core, when she is not writing, she adores attending the latest comic con or spending time with her family. She currently lives in the Midwest with her two furry felines.
