Claimed and Conquered

Power. Ruin. Survival.

Elena Costanzo was once the prized jewel of proper society, a coveted Omega born for privilege and protection. Until one brutal night leaves her family destroyed and her future in ashes.

Then Leon Marchetti comes for her.

Powerful, ruthless, and feared, he is everything an Omega should want in an Alpha. To Elena, he is only a monster. Yet with nowhere left to turn, she binds herself to the one man capable of keeping her alive.

Now bonded and carrying his child, Elena is torn away by an enemy lurking in the shadows. To survive, she will endure anything. Because no matter how cruel Leon may be, he remains her only hope.

But when her monster drags her back to his side, something dark begins to grow between them.

Fear or desire?

Love or ruin?

Eva Dresden is the mistress of a truly dark omegaverse that pulls at every emotion. The characters are complex, the heat is sizzling and the action keeps you at the edge of your seat.

I highly recommend this to any Omegaverse readers out there and/or dark paranormal romance fans, you will not be disappointed. I cannot give enough applause to the author of her use of language and the way the story starts from beginning to end how she captivates the reader. This is a story I can definitely re-read.

When I usually think of dark reads I think about the physical aspects of what that means. That also includes the mind games and the control aspects. There are a few authors who go a little deeper and tap into the emotional aspects, and that's what Eva Dresden has done with this one.

– Amazon Reviewer

Using her unique writing style which captivates you from the first moment you open the book, the author introduces you to a fantastic universe with unforgettable characters and ancient old prophecies where magic and power rule.

This is a world full of possibilities and I was not disappointed. Eva manages to create characters that draw me in and keep me riveted. Hoping for the best and wondering what else could possibly go wrong! I am waiting with baited breath to see what happens to Aida and her chosen Alpha Er'it.
