I was sent to marry the Lycan King to save a kingdom, not to find love.

To him, I was a treaty clause. To my family, I was the daughter most easily sacrificed.

I'm Wren Calder, a ledger-keeper who has spent her entire life believing that being useful is the closest thing to being wanted.

Aldric Voss is the widowed Lycan King of Duskmere; coldly controlled, painfully guarded, and determined to keep his heart locked away.

He needs our marriage to strengthen the ancient crossing wards protecting his kingdom.

I need only to survive the arrangement with my dignity intact.

We agree to expect nothing from each other.

But shared duties become quiet conversations. Respect becomes trust. And the man who once looked at me like an obligation begins to look at me like I'm something he cannot bear to lose.

Then the wards begin to fail.

A ruthless council elder is hiding a dangerous scheme, the border is under attack, and our marriage may be the only thing standing between Duskmere and destruction.

But can an oath made for duty become a bond chosen freely?

And when the kingdom demands everything we have, will love be enough to save us?

The Lycan King's Oathbound Bride is a tender, slow-burn forced-marriage fantasy romance featuring fated-mate tension, a guarded widowed king, a practical heroine discovering her worth, political intrigue, emotional healing, and a deeply satisfying happily-ever-after. Book Two in The Lycan Crown series. Each novel is a standalone.
