    Summary

    He remembered a high school biology class about gene activation.  About how some genes would lay dormant until you came across something in the environment that physically activated them, that physically flipped the switch from off to on, and how you could go your entire life without activating that gene, but that didn’t mean it wasn’t there.  It was still inside you, activated or not.  It was always there, waiting.  Expectant.  Presumptuous.

    Summary

    Galadriel was never meant to choose. Promised to the Unseelie King, Morgoth, to end a war centuries in the making, her fate has already been written in prophecy, sealed with the blood shed by her kin and court. But when the sea takes her instead, Galadriel finds herself rescued by a stranger who speaks in bargains, and knows more than he should. He offers her a bargain, and perhaps something far more dangerous than that: a choice.

    In a world where names hold power and vows bind fate, the most dangerous thing of all may be choosing who to trust.

    Summary

    She’d seen the degradation of watching a man fight for his life, the insatiable greed of those in the audience cheering it on. Women of high culture and class, women like the row that Galadriel finds herself in, are supposed to be above such carnage, weaned away from violence at a tender age in deference to their omega sensibilities.

    But the man across the cage from her, a man that stands alone, studying her under a hood of soiled bangs, an unkempt mess of auburn hair rendered nearly black under all the grime. He’s covered in absolute filth, an iron collar around his neck linking him to a chained post nearby. He’s — tall, perhaps taller than any of the other alphas there. Built deceptively strong and unassumingly dressed in a dark blue linen shirt that looks like it’s seen better days. Torn and threadbare at the edges, he looks squalid, like he hasn’t seen a bath in weeks. He should be the farthest thing to draw her attention or attraction.

    But his eyes hold hers without flinching when he stares at her, and Galadriel can't look away.
