Claimed by the Orc King

A chance encounter with a gorgeous cosplayer sends a young woman hurtling through a portal into a world of hunky orcs and fated mates.

MEET CUTE'S BACK ON THE MENU, BOYS.

Thena just wants to survive FantastiCon with minimal human interaction and maximum sarcasm. She didn't plan for a seven-foot-plus cosplayer built like a Norse god, painted green, who smells like he was forged in the wilds of Valhalla and seems hell-bent on ruining her day.

But Viggo Klausson isn't a cosplayer. He's the High Chieftain of the Eastern Orcs, and he's spent two years in the human world searching for his soulmate. The moment he scents Thena, he knows she belongs to him. But - despite the thrumming attraction that leads her straight through a portal into Viggo's world - Thena doesn't believe in destiny, or some cosmic mating bond, and she absolutely did not sign up for this.

When an ancient power wakes inside Thena, she's forced to learn the rules of Viggo's complicated world, fast. If she wants to survive, she'll have to navigate a new world and a future she never asked for, all while fighting against the one thing more dangerous than the world around her: her growing, undeniable attraction to the man who swears she's his.
