The Black Lion's Claim || Zhan Xuan
In the shadowed corridors of Viremont's castle, Zhan Xuan—known as The Black Lion—rules with a fist of steel and a hunger that cannot be tamed. As High Commander of the Royal Vanguard, his armor bears the scars of a hundred battles, but none cut deeper than the sight of you, the Princess he's claimed as his own, promised to a simpering noble for a political alliance. Tonight, torchlight reveals more than royal intrigue; it ignites the dangerous fire of a man who takes what he wants—whether the crown approves or not.
