   Summary

   “You and I both know we do not keep hostages, father,” he taunted, “What would Ares say?”

   He was not remotely afraid of Grigori anymore, but was rewarded with a sharp slap across the face for his words nonetheless.

   “You will do as I ask,” he hissed, his watery blue eyes nearly covered in cataracts now, “We need the stronghold, and we need the prince.”

   “And what am I to do with this prince once I have him?” he asked, tossing his sword and helmet onto a table laden with food he could only dream of when he was away, “Threaten him?”

   “Marry him.”

   Or, Ilya is the most feared general in his father’s army, leaving carnage wherever he goes. He prefers life this way, with no attachments, and nothing but blood on his hands. Until he is forced to marry the famously beautiful crown prince of the territory he most wants, and falls in love with him in the process.
