“My Unloved Lord” — a novel by Ekaterina Slavy, the first book in the “My Lord” cycle. Genre: adventure fantasy; romantic fantasy. “Do you think Rose Thorn will be grateful if you take her as your wife?” “I don’t think so,” the lord replied. “Honestly, her feelings don’t interest me much at all.” I frowned, eavesdropping—while the lord added: “Rose Thorn will be useful to me. So whether she wants it or not, she’ll have to become my wife.” “Become your wife, my lord?” I thought with hatred. “Don’t even hope…” He came to my house to make me his wife. A powerful lord, a hero who ten years ago performed a miracle and saved our world from the demons’ invasion. But miracles don’t happen. Something ugly hides behind the miracle—a nasty, terrifying secret: the destruction of my family—the Thorn family. And now I, Rose Thorn, the last of the Thorns, against my will am forced to become the wife of Lord Rayan Kingsword.
