Book five in the bestselling series King of Prey by NY Times and USAT bestselling author Mandy M. Roth. 

Cocky hawk shifter prince.

A fated mate he never wanted.

And a headstrong human who just crash-landed into his life... literally.

Rossi, the youngest royal in a powerful line of hawk shifters, has spent centuries avoiding duty, dodging responsibility, and indulging in all the pleasures life has to offer. A mate? Not in his plans. Especially not a human one. But when his meddlesome sister-in-law delivers an undeniable prophecy, Rossi’s world is flipped upside down.

His fated mate is near. And she’s about to fall right into his arms.

Lucy Navarre is a paranormal investigator on a mission to prove that bird shifters exist. She’s spent her life chasing legends, but she never expected to find herself kidnapped by ruthless winged warriors—or saved by an infuriatingly arrogant, sinfully gorgeous prince with a body carved by the gods. Now, trapped in a mystical realm, she has two choices: fight fate or surrender to the magnetic pull of the one male who sets her soul on fire.

But Rossi isn’t the only one who wants Lucy, and danger is closing in. If he wants to claim his mate, he’ll have to protect her first… and prove that sometimes, destiny gets it exactly right.
