⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "It was fast-paced and well written with some majorly scorching chemistry." - BB

His claim on her is a deep possession he won’t allow her to break

Ana is determined to put Maddoc behind her.

As she tries to take control of her life and make her own choices, one thing becomes clear.

The Alpha outlaw won’t let her go.

Infuriated that she’s not already his, Maddoc uses all his resources to assert his claim.

But his violent destruction in taking what he is owed crushes anyone who gets in his way

Including Ana herself.

BEWARE: This story is for those who love an extremely possessive antihero who is inspired by a dark Robin Hood.

Read an excerpt

“It’s not good enough.” Maddoc’s low growl burned the back of his throat. “I want to know what the fuck she was doing all night. And I want to know today!” The fury in him roiled at the thought she might have been anywhere near the duke last night. Thankfully, her heat wasn’t due for weeks. If there were any chance of it arriving while she was in the duke’s possession, he would have stormed in and collected her, regardless of the consequences—though those consequences would likely include the opportunity to kill the duke.

“We’ve always been very careful not to betray those who provide us with information,” Raine said carefully. “We’ve never asked them to do anything that will reveal their allegiance with us. It may be they are unable or unwilling to give us that information—”

The harsh growl in Maddoc’s throat cut off her words. There was no point explaining that none of that mattered now. He was on the edge of a cliff of sanity, ready to descend into the most mindless, violent rage if anyone breathed the wrong way.

    A drop-everything-and-read-the-whole-day type of book.
    I've read every book written by Zoey Ellis and I haven't found any that has disappointed me.

    I need more. I absolutely LOVE this series! I could not even begin to explain how blindsided I was to the new approach she took on the alpha/omega connection but it was amazing! The only thing negative I could say about this is that I definitely need more.

It was a very different set of books for me, and I really loved the characters (ok, not Maddoc so much at first), but all the characters and the story line were so interesting!

Wow. What a great conclusion to Maddoc and Ana's heartbreaking story. I have to admit I wasn't Maddoc's biggest fan after the first one and there were so many secrets and things up in the air! At the end of this one I was his biggest fan! But this brought a wonderful ending to most of the story, while leaving an opening for more books. Definitely dark so mind ya triggers

5⭐️ - I am obsessed

An epic continuation of a Savage Debt. The first book ending was so thrilling that I couldn't wait to start with this one. There is something about Zoey Ellis writing that always captures me. If you are up for a good fantasy omega verse story filled with romance, adventure and spice, this is definitely a book for you!

Ana is convinced to leave the palace by her fiance, convinced they need to marry immediately and take the crown from her father. But every time he comes close to her, she can’t help but feel repulsion, which was so unlike the way she felt with Maddoc. She can’t wrap her head around the fact that her fiance is supposed to be her fated mate, and yet she feels a stronger connection to another Alpha.

When Maddoc realizes that Ana has left the palace, he makes a new deal with the king, if he finds her first, he will keep her. He has built an entire life around the future he has planned with his mate, now he just needs to convince her that’s what she is.

I really enjoyed this book. After the cliffhanger ending of book 1, I jumped into this one immediately. I actually really liked how the first book was almost entirely from Ana’s perspective, because then when we got to this one, we learn everything that Maddoc was hiding before. Understanding what he was really doing, and why just made me fall for him right from the beginning.
