Anima - Laurie Bowler

. .

Résumé :
Joyce is a poor university student until the night she's taken to the world of Anima, ruled by humans whose ancient hearts pulse with the blood of animals. There she's forced into a battle to the death. But when Joyce survives and refuses to kill her final opponent, the ruler must either kill Joyce himself or take her as his mate. Sung, the brutal ruler of the beasts with the blood of lions, shocks everyone when he chooses the weak human, Joyce. He promises her every comfort of his wealth and position, but he is clear she will not warm his bed. He chose her to oppose those trying to corner him into blending his Leonine line with other species. As Joyce and Sung grow closer, the wolves are determined to destroy her. Joyce needs the help of Anima to become stronger and rule them well. But the vengeful wolves only see a weak human that brings them shame. Will Sung and Joyce admit their feelings for each other in time to fight for the rulership and their lives against the villainous wolf tribe? Or will the wolves kill Joyce and steal the throne?
