Given to the Orc Captain
I should’ve died on that mountain.
Frostbitten, half-conscious, and abandoned by the very spies I served, I was left to freeze while my team disappeared without a backward glance. Instead of death, I got dragged out of the snow by the orcs I was trained to fear.
The Chieftain didn’t kill me.
He handed me over to his Captain of the Guard—my judge, my jailer, my keeper.
Ragor Thornfell.
A disciplined, battle-scarred commander who trusts no one, especially not a human found spying in the mountains. He doesn’t want me in his space. He doesn’t want me in his territory. But until the Chieftain decides what to do with me, I’m under his constant watch…which feels a lot like being under his protection.
I expected rage. Cruelty. Monster stories come to life.
Ragor is none of those things.
He’s steady. Controlled. Brutal in battle—and shockingly gentle when tending the wounds I shouldn’t have survived. And the longer I stay in his quarters, the harder it is to remember the humans who left me to die.
But danger is closing in.
Now I have to
Return to the life that tried to erase me…
or stand beside the Captain who might just claim my heart.

Not my favourite entry in the series, but still a very good story! I can't wait for book 4 to come out!

Good addition to the series
I really liked this story and its protagonists. The reason I'm not giving it more stars is that it felt like the FMc learned sword fighting overnight or there was some sort of fast forwarded that I missed. This fast forward or skip also felt like a missed opportunity on the relationship building side. I thought there would be more scenes and time and encounters between the MMC and FMC while she was learning to fight that would set their friendship, romantic relationship, and some sexual tension. Alas, none of that happened...

Another excellent addition to the series
A traitor, an Orc Captain of the elite Vangard, and a threatened war that could destroy the Grayfang Clan completely.
War, spying, treachery and betrayal. In the midst of the chaos the Orc Captain and the Traitor woman turned Orc Scout find their way to each other. A lovely romance with passion, spice, and minimal angst. I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series. Can't wait for the next book!

So much good stuff
I really appreciate that these stories have romance, yes but so much more. Warfare, strategy, combat skills. And very, very strong FMC that show their true colors & are rewarded & respected for it.

That's fun
A broken spy and a lonely captain makes for an enjoyable story. The princess is a hoot too. A fun read.
