<p><strong>Love is for the weak of mind.</strong></p><p>Astra is queen of the Companion world. She has been at the king’s side for ten years but his interest is waning. If she can just hold on a little longer she will take her rightful place as mentor and never share a man’s bed again. But a single game of cards threatens to bring her future to ruins. The king’s wager is a brutal reminder that she is replaceable disposable—a prize to be won. Now she must find a way to survive outside the castle until she can find a way back inside its walls.</p><p>Dion is captain of the Galen army a soldier a humanitarian—and possibly a traitor. He does not believe in people as property so the concept of a Companion is confronting. Mistress or slave? He cannot decide. The king’s Companion seems content enough with her eternal smile and ability to command a room with just a tilt of her head and flash of blue eyes but he sees past the painted face and rehearsed laughter. She is broken. She is fire. And a game of cards later she is entirely his problem.</p><p>This is book five in The Companion series.
