The Rise Of The Ugly Luna (Rise of the Ugly Luna Series, #1)

Lyric‘s life had been shaped by rejection. Mocked for the scars that marked her face and despised even by the man destined to be her mate, she grew up believing she was unworthy and unattractive. He kept her close only to secure more land, and once his ambition was satisfied, he cast her aside without hesitation, shattering what little hope she had left. Then she met him. He was the first to look at her and see beauty. The first to make her feel cherished instead of tolerated. One single night with him altered the course of her world. To Lyric, he felt like a blessing-a rescuer sent to mend her broken heart. To him, she was the only woman who had ever awakened something in him that no one else could, solving a struggle he had silently endured for years. She dared to believe her fate had finally changed. But just like the others, he deceived her. And when the truth about his identity surfaced, she understood the terrifying reality-he wasn‘t merely powerful; he was the kind of man no one simply walks away from. Lyric longed to flee, to reclaim her freedom. Yet more than escape, she craved dignity, strength, and the chance to rise from the ruins of her past. Instead, she found herself pulled into a shadowed world she had never intended to enter-one far darker and more dangerous than she could have imagined.
