Crave To Conquer: A Dark Fantasy Romance (Myth of Omega Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars 3,657 ratings

He conquered an empire, but she is his true obsession.

Despite conquering a powerful throne, Emperor Drocco wants an omega.

After hearing tales of their devoted love and submissive nature, he
must have one of his own. But omegas disappeared over 100 years ago.

When he hires beautiful historian, Cailyn, to help him find them, the attraction between them is instant. Yet her disrespectful attitude and disinterest infuriates him. He aches to dominate her, to teach her to respect him. But he can’t jeopardize his goal.

So, he harbors his dark desire and waits.

As a seasoned spy, Cailyn is used to concealing her omega identity. Her mission was straightforward; infiltrate the emperor’s palace and don’t, under any circumstances, draw his attention.

But he rarely leaves her side. Savage and cruel, with rugged good looks, he is the epitome of a true Alpha, and the most intolerable male she has ever encountered.

His obsession with her grows, becoming almost unbearable, until one terrible night...

He can suddenly scent what she really is...
his.

BEWARE: This story is only for those who love an over-the-top possessive, dark anti-hero who will do anything to have his woman. See author website for full warnings.

From the Author

Excerpt from Crave To Conquer

As he sat down, he saw Cailyn enter. He couldn't take his eyes from her as she threaded through the crowd toward him. He almost held his breath as he stared. The woman was utterly gorgeous. Her hair had been swept up again revealing that delicate neck, and the dress clung to every delicious curve. Finally he could see her luscious figure in detail and it had been worth the wait. With the cut of the dress revealing the tops of her shoulders, her simple elegance seemed out of place among the raucous crowd.

His guards let her through at his instruction and she climbed the platform and stood before him, her head low.

"I'm not pleased you had to be summoned, kitten," he said, lifting his ale and keeping his eyes on her.

"I'm sure you can understand I wasn't eager to attend, considering your plans to..." Her voice petered out, her head lifted and she closed her eyes, swaying slightly. Then her eyes opened, widening as an expression of horror seeped into her face.

Drocco frowned, confused, and then a scent hit him. A rich, luscious, sublime scent, like nothing he had smelled before. It penetrated every part of him, causing a yearning so powerful that suddenly every fiber of his being switched to high alert.

"No," Cailyn whispered, taking a step back. "No. It can't..."

Drocco ignored her and leaned forward, trying to decipher what he was experiencing. A fog began to swamp his mind, and the only clear thought emerging was that he needed that scent--it belonged to him. He turned his head slowly seeking it out, and then snapped back to Cailyn. It was her.

Cailyn glanced around wildly as she backed away, her whole body tense and poised to bolt.

Drocco rose slowly, every inch of him aware of every inch of her. A raw hunger developed as he took in her terrified expression, her scent blossoming into an aroma so enticing, so complex, he hardened to rock. At the same time, the guards behind her began to turn and look at her, their nostrils flaring.

Something snapped in Drocco.

    This book was well-written all the way around. Strong character development and world-building, great pacing, swoon-worthy romance and steam. Parts of it are really tough to read—it is dark romance after all—but I think it was balanced really well by the rest of the book and by the fact that the MCs didn’t miraculously fix everything afterwards. I was upset when the book was done and can’t wait to read the next one in the series.
  • Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2022
    I'd rate this book 3.5 stars but enjoyed it enough to round it up rather than down. Set in a world of Alphas and Betas, Omegas haven't been seen for over a hundred years. When Drocco conquers a large portion of territory with his Alpha army, aka the Eastern Lands and the Lox Empire, he makes a promise to his men that he will get to the bottom of the mystery of the missing Omegas and bring them back to the kingdom and into the rightful arms of their Alphas. He enlists/demands the aid of Cailyn, known for being one of the best research historians in the kingdom. Little does he know that the latter is an Omega. Having kidnapped the actual historian and assumed her identity, Cailyn works undercover, suppressing her Omega tells using Talent, a kind of magic. Her mission? To find out what the Emperor knows about the missing Omegas and where they might be and try to derail his mission if possible. Simple, yes?

    If you haven't read an Omegaverse book before (i.e. a book involving Alphas, Omegas, etc.) you might not know what's hit you as while the author does explain bits as she goes along, there aren't lengthy descriptions. I'm not new to this world so liked this, but newer readers might be left scratching their heads unless they do a quick search on the trope. I thought the world building in this one had a lot of potential and while I would have liked to know more about the land and conquered territories, the author has left herself with a lot of great possibilities for where she can take the story. The majority of this plot line is held within Drocco's kingdom, particularly the research room and his bedroom. I liked the inclusion of Talent in the kingdom as it added to the fantasy element and created a bit more depth to the story so that it wasn't all 'Me alpha. Need my Omega' vibe that was the premise of the story.

    I liked both of the main characters for the most part. Drocco's personality was about as subtle as a hammer, definitely being on the forceful side of things due to being an Alpha (and a king, at that). I liked that Cailyn had a spine for some of the book, being defiant where possible. I found that as soon as the Omega hormones set in, however, this was a bit of a Catch 22. For one, it let the smexy times start to settle in, but on the other hand, she lost all of her great personality and became a lot like other heroines set in this world. I would have liked her to retain some of her backbone rather than become a slave to arousal and Drocco as she came pretty close to being a walking cliché. I don't want to spoil anything for other readers, but she kind of let all of her resolutions and loyalty slide under the guise of Omega arousal as well as coercion and sexual misdeeds from Drocco. It didn't really fly with me. Her people were dependent on her. Show some backbone. Also, I don't think I've ever read the word 'slick' so many times in my life. After reading this book, I'm chucking it up there with 'moist'.

    Quick trigger warning for those that need it, especially if they haven't read a book in this world before: there's pain meted out to Cailyn. It's deliberate, invasive and of a sexual nature. Due to the Omega/Alpha dynamic taking over a few times, there's also what I would classify as non-consensual scenes involving the two main characters (where she doesn't want to give in and be attracted to him but he takes advantage of her state, etc. to seal the deal). Drocco isn't out to make friends for a fair chunk of the book and while I liked his penchant for violence and ruling through force, other readers might not appreciate it.

    I thought this was an entertaining read. I will pick up Book 2 in the future.

    First book in a trilogy of an omegaverse nature... fantastic book. I’m just naturally hooked on the alpha male dynamic with dubious non consensual nature. Omegas have a dynamic to please an alpha but during a sexual haze they give their selves to the biggest alpha for breeding. This book follows that nature.

    What did I like? Emperor Drocco brings in a historian from Vamore to overlook and go through his personal cache of omega paperwork. Determined to find the missing omega’s as part of his promise to his army of Lox and provide them with personal omega’s now that he is the one person ruling over the Eastern Lands. Cailyn is an omega disguised as a beta determined to go through the information that Drocco has and determine how to throw Drocco off the hunt for omega’s. Only she is unprepared for his attention, and when she is finally revealed, she is tortured by him. This has got to be the best series that I have read with an omegaverse dynamic. No cheating, but it does have a cliffhanger.

    Would I buy or recommend? This is not a huge genre and maybe not even a huge audience but I absolutely love the series, and own them in paperback. Love the covers, and the author has quite the storytelling capability. The book is dark, and it has dubious non consent due to the omega being in heat.

    Thoughts for the author? Thanks so much for allowing me a copy to give my opinion. Loved the book and treasure the series. I hope we get more books.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 7, 2021
    5* I loved it! What a cliff hanger! One of the best books I have ever read. The story unfolds in a very natural way. It doesn't feel rushed or stretched out.
    The only bad point is because book 1 was free I can not afford to buy book 2! I normally only read free books or KU books.
    But if you can afford to buy the series, based only on this book I would highly recommend it!

    Reviewed in Canada on July 12, 2019
    I wasn’t really sure about the magic aspect of this book at first but found that it allowed the relationship between the characters to really develop before the alpha/omega hormone response kicked in, letting us see strength and independence in Cailyn’s character. Drocco is pretty dark - likely would hate him in person but love him on paper. I downloaded the next book right away because I wanted more.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting story
    Reviewed in Mexico on December 30, 2018
    I enjoyed this story. The omegaverse portrayed in this book was dark and alluring. The plot was interesting and clever. The way the characters are presented gives them dimension and the mix of omegaverse and magic makes this story different.
    Drocco has established an empire with his Alpha army in the Easter Lands. He is intrigued with the disappearance of the Omegas through the years and he is resolved in finding them for his and his army’s pleasure. Cailyn is an omega disguised as a beta female by magic in a mission. He is intrigued by her and in a twist of fate discovers who she really is and this is when the battle of wills begins. He tried to get information from her but her strength never falls. Trying to make her reveal the location of the other Omegas he is deceived by King Malloron from the Western Lands and that results in Cailyn’s escape.
    Finally as English is not my native language this book was easy to read and I couldn’t wait to finish it and read the next in this series.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome omegaverse book
    Reviewed in Spain on June 8, 2020
    It's difficult to find a good Omegaverse book and I totally loved this one.

    Very well written with great world building and strong characters. I really like Drocco and Cailyn tempestuous relationship. The Alpha/Omega dynamics are always complicated and the omegas aren't willing to be manhandle by Alphas. However times are changing are what Alphas and Omegas once was a bad relationship now maybe could be different.

    I enjoyed a lot the conflict between Drocco and Caylin. Both have preconceived ideas about the other. How the other is supposed to behave and what should be and they are not focusing on the person they have in front of the other and what its really good for them. Powerful, brave and determinded characters. Steamy scenes since Drocco and CAilyn have amazing chemistry.

    Hopefully they can find an Alpha/Omega relationship beneficial for both of them and accept their attraction and what they can become together.

    Great starting for this trilogy!
