King of Prey: A Bird Shifter Novel (King of Prey 1)

King Kabril of the Buteos Regalis shifters has no interest in taking a human mate. His kind—dominant, powerful bird shifters—see humans as weak, earthbound creatures who rely on machines to soar. Yet a prophecy foretells that only by claiming his fated mate can he restore fertility to his people.

The catch? His fated mate is human.

Rayna Vogel is a fiercely independent woman, living an ordinary life on Earth—until a dangerously sexy, arrogant king crashes into her world, demanding she belongs to him. With enemies lurking in the shadows and an ancient war on the verge of reigniting, Kabril and Rayna must navigate a whirlwind of forbidden attraction, destiny, and danger.

As tensions rise, so do the stakes. Kabril is determined to claim her. Rayna refuses to be tamed. But when the bond between them ignites, neither can deny the fire that burns between them.
