What he finds there is much more than he bargained for.

My rating:
Matt/Sköll and the other three “alphas of all” are getting ready to make an epic run through all of Scandinavia, gather other Vargr, Völsung, Sleipnir, and whatever other long-forgotten sibling races they can before leading them to Brussels to demand their rights be recognized.

Review - Luck of the Draw by Addison Albright
My rating:
Once upon a time, three kingdoms were engaged in a bloody war over a small piece of land. Many princes and princesses died in the battles. When the rulers decided to make peace, part of the treaty called for marriages between the houses to promote stability. The only problem is that there are slightly more eligible princes than princesses. This means that either Obren or his brother will have to marry Prince Dukan.
