Rise of the King: A Bird Shifter Novel (King of Prey 4)

A disgraced warrior. A hidden mate. A destiny written in the skies.

Lazar has spent years fighting for a kingdom that will never truly claim him. Born of the Falcons but sworn to the Hawks, he is a warrior, an outcast, a traitor in the eyes of his own kind. Haunted by the belief that his fated mate perished long ago, he has drowned his pain in battle, mead, and the arms of countless women. But everything changes when he learns the truth—she’s alive. And she’s been hidden from him in the human realm.

Sheltered and fiercely protected, Sabrina has always felt different. The restless dreams. The inexplicable pull toward the skies. The shadow of something—or someone—missing. When a dangerously seductive man appears in her life, claiming they are bound by fate, she’s torn between fear and undeniable attraction. But Lazar isn’t just any man. He’s a shifter. A warrior king. And the rightful ruler of a kingdom that will demand he rise and reclaim his throne—even if it means claiming her as his own.

But Lazar isn’t the only one hunting her. And in a world where myths breathe and kings wage war in the skies, their fated bond may be the only thing that can save them both.
