Wretched Wrath (The Helheim Duet, #1)

Hel’s henchman, come to reclaim his obsession.
An elf newly free, desperate to find her dragon.
A mate bond he’ll exploit to feed his twisted desires—if she lets him.

Wregen gave himself to Hel, the queen of the dead, centuries ago. She trained him to be like her, to covet the dark pleasures she permits. He keeps only one secret from his cruel mistress: his fixation on Finaan, a living elf he helped trap in Helheim. Even Finaan doesn’t know the things Wregen has done to her while she slept or how much he needs her. But then she escapes, and Wregen is sent to retrieve her or suffer Hel’s wrath.

Finaan has no idea why she craves Wregen, why he filled her depraved dreams in Helheim. Those unwelcome desires don’t matter now, though. She’s free, trying to put Hel’s realm behind her and find the dragon she thought dead. So when Wregen appears and abducts her, Finaan fights him and her traitorous body, as she searches for a way to return to the land of the living.

Will Wregen drag Finaan to Helheim, or can she dig out the remnants of a soul that Hel thinks she destroyed?

Wretched Wrath is the provocative first book of The Helheim Duet, a DARK fantasy romance set in the same universe as Tales of the Vanir (TOTV). Expect a slow burn that won’t be satisfied in this book and a cliffhanger ending. If you’re craving a morally black, unhinged MMC, a fierce FMC, enemies-to-lovers, fated mates, forced proximity, and he falls first, along with plenty of banter and tension, you’ve found your next obsession.

If you haven’t read TOTV yet, that series is best read first. Wretched Wrath contains spoilers, particularly for Books III and IV.

Wretched Wrath is DARK and contains content many readers will find disturbing, including non-con involving fingers, memories of non-con by the MMC while the FMC slept, graphic torture and violent deaths. It includes frequent profanity and spice (but not on-page sex; that’ll come in Book II).
