The Beast of Salt by D. & C. Night

The Beast
My birthright was stolen by my own father and bestowed upon my worthless brother. Fate’s middle finger is all I witness as the Salt crown fell on his head.
Alas, our penniless nation desperately needs coin. Delivering another king’s head seemed worth the payment until she took up the war against me.
Queen Avina. Sole heir to the Ridge Province and married to the despicable king whose head paid for my people to eat. Her mind is a sight to behold even if the wench did condemn me to the Treland Arena.
Within this wretched Abyss, I have been stripped of my title. My home. Even my gods damn name. I will take my vengeance. Avina will fall to her knees and succumb to my wrath.
My little Queen. My deepest obsession.

His Little Queen
Loneliness has been the sole comfort of my life. The greatest joy I have known is Prince Sigvid removing my abusive husband’s head from his shoulders.
I took up the fight against Sigvid’s brutal form of warfare and won! The twisted reality is that he is the only person who has desired me for all I am. And I cannot get enough of him.
My sick fascination with him has led me to the Treland Arena. I cannot bring myself to admit the passion he has wrought in my soul.
My Beast. My darkest secret.
