Forbidden Marrow: The Last Outcast

Betrayed by his own blood and stripped of his Heavenly Marrow, Cain was left to rot as a powerless outcast in a world where bone-rank determines destiny. But as he lay dying in the dirt, a forbidden hunger awakened within him—a Devouring Bone that doesn't just heal, it feasts on the essence of the elite. He is no longer a victim; he is a predator hiding in plain sight. To survive the capital's lethal politics, Cain plays the role of a loyal dog to Sela, the empire's coldest and most dominant General. She thinks she has him on a leash, treating him as a curiosity and a tool. But Cain is addicted to the thrill of the hunt, secretly consuming the power of those who ruined him while weaving a web of deception around his mistress. As Sela begins to realize that the monster she is protecting is the only thing capable of breaking her world, a deadly game of dominance unfolds. How many gods must he devour before he can finally make his betrayers kneel, and will Sela be his ultimate ally or his final meal?
