This book is a work of fiction and any resemblance to persons, living or dead, or places, events or locales

is purely coincidental. The characters are productions of the authors’ imagination and used fictitiously.

Warning:

The following material contains graphic sexual content meant for mature readers. This story has been

rated E–rotic by a minimum of three independent reviewers.

Ellora’s Cave Publishing offers three levels of Romantica™ reading entertainment: S (S-ensuous), E (E-

rotic), and X (X-treme).

S- ensuous love scenes are explicit and leave nothing to the imagination.

E- rotic love scenes are explicit, leave nothing to the imagination, and are high in volume per the overall

word count. In addition, some E-rated titles might contain fantasy material that some readers find

objectionable, such as bondage, submission, same sex encounters, forced seductions, and so forth. E-rated

titles are the most graphic titles we carry; it is common, for instance, for an author to use words such as

“fucking”, “cock”, “pussy”, and such within their work of literature.

X- treme titles differ from E-rated titles only in plot premise and storyline execution. Unlike E-rated titles,

stories designated with the letter X tend to contain controversial subject matter not for the faint of heart.

Bakra Bride

Prologue

Sweat rolled down his forehead and temples, stinging his eyes. Zaren blinked

furiously to clear his vision, but he dared not take his eyes off his opponent to swipe it

away. All around him, men were yelling and swearing as steel struck against steel.

Raising his arm, he stopped his opponent’s blade with his own before it bit into his

shoulder. Giving a thundering battle cry, he thrust forward, attacking and driving the

other man back. Every footstep was carefully placed, as there was nowhere to step in

the meadow that was now littered with the blood, limbs and bodies of the dead and

dying.

Was it just this morning that he stood in the courtyard of Bakra Castle, sparring

with his brothers? It seemed like so long ago, more of a distant memory really. He and

his youngest brother, Jarmon, had been fighting, while Garrik and Bador had shouted

their encouragement from the sidelines. After the rain of the night before the air had

smelled fresh and clean. Now it stank of death.

They’d seen the rider coming hard and had stopped their training. No one drove a

horse that mercilessly unless there was trouble. He recognized the horseman

immediately and his blood had started pumping swiftly as the messenger from Castle

Garen pounded into the courtyard. Dust flew everywhere while the man all but fell

from his horse. Gasping for breath, he’d uttered two words, “Craddock brothers.”

Zaren had immediately called for their horses and weapons. The castle sprang to

life as men raced to and fro, readying themselves to ride. The exhausted rider spat out

the details although Zaren could guess most of them.

There were six Craddock brothers, each one more vicious than the next. Warring

and stealing was what they did best. They were cruel to their own people, taking

whatever they wanted according to their right as lords of the land. Coveting the wealth
