Wolfblood is a series of The Witcher fan fiction tales by inexplicifics spun off as an alternate AU of her The Accidental Warlord And His Pack series.
Milena de Roggeven is sent to Kaer Morhen as a bride to whichever of the Warlord’s men he chooses in order to seal a treaty between the Warlord and the kingdom of Redania. Her new husband is rough and imposing, but she quickly realizes that he is nothing like she was lead to expect, and perhaps much better than any husband she could have anticipated her father trading her away to. There is also something off about the correspondence from Redania to Kaer Morhen, but just what the king is plotting neither Milena nor the Warlord could have ever guessed.
