Taken by the Pikosa Warlord

I'm awoken after a thousand's year sleep to a brutal world ruled by a male who may be the devil himself—Ero. Strange that, though so much has changed, language hasn't lost its roots. Because of that, I'm able to interpret his tongue—the only one who can. I plan to use my strengths to free the captive tribes from Ero's brutality or, better yet, teach Ero that we can be stronger by working together. If I do that, I won't just change the warlord himself, I'll change everything. Too bad he's vowed to kill me first. __________ Welcome back to Earth—what's left of it, that is, in Xiveri Mates book seven. This barbarian warlord romance is gritty and by far the darkest in the Xiveri Mates universe, containing multiple violent scenes—including acts by the hero against the heroine. It is a complete standalone that can be read at any point and, as ever, features a fighting heroine who ensnares the villain and a guaranteed HEA.
