She didn't choose him. The system did, claiming they were 90% compatible. In a world rebuilt from collapse, the AI doesn't ask what you want. Talia's file says she belongs to Timur Arsanov. No interviews. No consent. No way out. They call him Krovavy. Bloody. A warlord who didn't survive the war by being gentle, and who has no intention of being gentle with her either. He doesn't court her. He doesn't ask. He claims her the way he claims everything — like it was always his to take. Talia knows she should hate him. She knows the system that paired them is broken, that nothing about this is a choice. But surviving Timur means learning him — the discipline beneath the brutality, the control that isn't just cruelty, the moments he almost looks at her like she's more than property. She wasn't supposed to want to understand him. She definitely wasn't supposed to crave the way he looks at her like she's already his. This is not a soft love story. This is forced proximity with no escape hatch, a power imbalance that doesn't resolve itself in chapter three, and a hero who earns nothing — he simply takes. If you like your dark romance with dubious consent, a possessive warlord hero, and a heroine who finds her place in a world that is against her — Reign of Krovavy is for you. THIS IS THE FRIST BOOK IN THE TELL ME SERIES. 🖤 18+ only. Dark themes throughout. [Read More]
