Despite being bred to be irresistible, Lanella doesn’t feel pretty. Her sisterset mock her at every opportunity.
Competition is fierce. Only the loveliest three girls will remain to birth the next generation: an idyllic life of sewing and ordering eunuchs to tend the sprogs.
Lanella can only dream of beating her sisters to that ultimate prize. At this rate she will be lucky to cross the ocean to marry some primitive sapiens. More likely the culling pile awaits.
Primal instincts lurk beneath Lanella’s evolved exterior. After revealing a potent mix of desirable and threatening traits, Lanella gets one final chance to redeem herself and claim a reward beyond her imagining.
However, to succeed, first she must conquer her beastly heart.
