A Deal with the Shadow King

A dark bet between kings…

My father sold me out to the Shadow King. He made a reckless deal to save my mother, and I must pay the price, forced to live in Faerie with king Damian and his sinful court.

Now, I must learn to protect myself from the nightmares, dreams, and fantasies that govern this mysterious land.

I shall not flee.
I shall not give in.
I shall endure.

If I don’t, my kingdom will fall.

The shadow court is in ruins, and its king, too…

Nothing will get in the way of my duty, not even a witty, flawless beauty like Penelope Darcy.

The rules of the curse are simple.
1. We never take off our masks.
2. We avoid unnecessary contact with the High Fae.
3. We don’t keep secrets from each other.

For her, I'd break all three.
But I’ve got to win that wretched bet, even if I have to chop that princess into little pieces and feast on what’s left of her soul to achieve it.

This book is a full-length fantasy romance with a happy ending, and though it's part of a series, it stands alone.

Beauty and the Beast and Hades and Persephone collide in this enemies-to-lovers, forced-proximity fantasy romance. Sprinkles of grumpy-sunshine thrown in. The mysterious Shadow King is hot as sin, and the secrets of his world will bring any mortals to their knees. Slow-burn. 18+.
