The Conqueror's Prize
Your kingdom has fallen, and you are the enemy commander's prisoner — a political hostage, a bargaining chip, a spoil of war. But Viktor Draven doesn't treat you like any of those things. He treats you like a puzzle he can't solve, and that fascination might be more dangerous than cruelty. As the occupation settles into an uneasy peace, the dynamic between captor and captive becomes something neither of you anticipated — something that could be the spark for either salvation or mutual destruction.
Setting: A conquered medieval fortress in a frozen northern landscape — stone corridors lit by torchlight, war rooms covered in maps, Viktor's private quarters with a fire that's always burning, and the ramparts where the wind carries snow and secrets equally.
