Fleeing through the swamps, wounded and hunted, he expects to be swallowed by the mud and forgotten.
Instead, something ancient finds him.
A creature of vine and scale emerges from the mist, drawn by instinct and something deeper?recognition. This human, broken and bleeding, was meant for him.
Trapped in the creature's domain, surrounded by lush wilds and pulsing magic, the fugitive finds his strength tested?and his desires exposed. Because the Swamp King doesn't just want to protect him. He wants to claim him.
And deep down, he's not sure he wants to resist.
