Of Iron and Gold
by Lexa Luthor
Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?
A unique F/F omegaverse where the Alpha is the enslaved one and the Omega is the princess - flipping the usual power dynamics. The chemistry between Aubrey and Kinsey is electric, and the world-building around Alpha/Omega biology is creative and immersive.
Synopsis
**Princess Kinsey has been given four Alpha slaves, and she must choose one to impregnate her.** Aubrey, a She-Alpha, was sold into slavery at an early age due to her misunderstood "degenerate" nature. Trapped in the Tharnstone Castle, Aubrey has a chance to win her freedom, if she can show her Alpha's worthiness and be chosen to impregnate the princess. But when she learns the Alpha will be forbidden to see the child, she considers the real cost of freedom. Kinsey will one day be the Omega queen of her father's kingdom, but first she must provide an heir for the House of Wymarc. All she must do is pick an Alpha, despite her aversion towards them. But she soon discovers there's more to some Alphas, than the volatile, dull beasts she's used to. Now, the choice isn't so simple.
