Court of Monsters and Malice (The Shadow Bound Queen, #3)

by Eliza Raine

Are you hungry?” Mazrith asked me. I nodded, though I suspected the hollow feeling in my gut was more to do with the lack of him between my thighs than an empty stomach. “I don’t know what any of the food is though. I haven’t seen it before.”

I had achieved very little in the Ice Court, past possibly making some new friends. And discovering that having sex with Mazrith might kill him. I knocked back the rest of my mead. “If nobody minds, I need my bed.”

“Where to, Voror?” “There are runes carved into the toe of the statue of Odin.” “What do they say?” He blinked at me. “My skills are extensive and magnificent, but they do not extend to reading.”

I run forever, but do not move at all, I have no lungs or throat but a roaring call.”

“There is one for each Court,” Mazrith murmured as he moved around the pedestal to read them all. “And the other three?” “One for the dwarves… One for the Vanir… and one for the Fenrir.” “Fenrir? Aren’t they wolves?” I remembered scary stories told between the children of the palace about the ancient wolf creatures, led by the fearsome Beowulf. “Yes. They are as extinct as the dwarves and Vanir though.”
