Brutally Yours is a complete standalone that can be read on its own with no confusion or mission information. It does contain a spoiler for Viciously Yours but Viciously Yours does not have to be read to read this book.


Amos

Amos has spent his life under a brutal king who believes mercy is weakness and women are expendable. Beaten into submission and groomed to rule a tyrannical kingdom, the fae prince has only ever held onto one truth: one day, he will kill his father.

Priorities shift when a deathbed confession reveals that Amos has a twin sister hidden away in the Human Kingdom. Fate doesn’t wait for him to adjust to his new reality, and when Amos’ mate bond with Clover snaps into place, he has another person to protect. Realizing he can shield both his sister and mate by hiding Clover in the Human Kingdom, he convinces her to leave the fae lands under the false pretense of protecting his sister.

Amos’ lies continue to grow as he claims a false mate to appease his father and works with a rebel faction to eradicate the evil in their kingdom. But secrets never stay buried, and one surprise visit by his father unravels everything he’s worked hard to protect.

As Amos grows into something darker, more ruthless, and far more dangerous than the boy he once was, he’s forced to face the cost of the choices he made to protect the one person he loves the most.

Clover

After watching the horrific murder of her mother, Clover retreats into the safety of silence, knowing the Desert Kingdom is a place where women are owned, brutalized, and discarded. Raised in a small village, training alongside dragons and a rebel army, she is determined to make a place for herself and help bring down the monster ruling over them all.

When the Desert Prince appears, claiming they’re mates, she fears for the future she’s been working toward until Amos reveals shocking truths and asks her to protect a hidden princess in the Human Kingdom. Clover agrees, honored to be chosen and trusted with something so important, even if it means she can only know her mate through letters.

For years, their relationship builds through paper and ink, creating a bond that transcends fate. On the day Clover returns to the Desert Kingdom to take her place at his side, she watches as Amos claims another mate before the entire kingdom, humiliating and shattering her in the process.

Devastated and heartbroken, no explanation will repair what he’s broken, and she leaves the prince behind, cutting him out of her life. But years later, the boy who broke her is gone. In his place stands a ruthless king with blood on his hands and an obsession to get her back by any means possible.


Please note: Brutally Yours is darker than the other books in this world and has equal parts fantasy and romance plot.

Jamie Applegate Hunter

Jamie Applegate Hunter writes the kind of fantasy romance that lingers long after the last page, stories where vengeance and desire collide in worlds bound by magic and shadows. Readers know her through series like Vincula Realm and Fae Kings of Eden, where flawed kings, haunted queens, and fated bonds unravel against realms marked by betrayal and impossible choices. Her novels often press into darker corners of fantasy, exploring what it means to love when power, memory, and survival are at stake.

Hunter’s path to writing was not a straight one. Raised in the pine woods of East Texas, she carried with her the weight of folklore and a fascination with the unseen. A degree in criminology and political science sharpened her understanding of human behavior—why people break rules, what drives them to protect or destroy. Those insights now pulse through her characters, who are rarely simple heroes or villains, but people scarred by loss, longing, and the ache of wanting something forbidden.

Her writing career began with a co-authored project in 2020, yet it was her first solo book, The Compeer, in 2021 that set her own voice free. Since then, she has expanded her worlds with titles such as The Umbra King, Aeternum, and Viciously Yours, each marked by intricate world-building and emotionally charged storytelling. Upcoming releases, including Tragically Yours, continue to draw anticipation from a growing base of fantasy romance readers.

Now based in Colorado with her husband and two children, Hunter writes at the intersection of myth and emotion. Her stories carry warnings for those who tread lightly, yet for readers drawn to morally gray characters, shattered kingdoms, and love forged in the fire of hardship, her books offer exactly the kind of dangerous beauty they seek.

Fae Kings of Eden

In Eden, fate is never a gentle hand, it is a chain, a crown, and sometimes a blade. The Fae Kings of Eden series plunges readers into a realm where gods declare soulmates long before hearts are ready, where fae rulers guard their kingdoms with ruthless devotion, and where love is both salvation and curse.

Each book unravels a different bond: a king who waits years for the human girl promised to him, a crown prince torn between destiny and forbidden desire, sisters divided by the cruelty of prophecy. These romances are steeped in obsession and sacrifice, where longing collides with loyalty and even the strongest must choose between power and the person who holds their heart.

Blending dark fantasy with the intensity of fated love, the series invites readers into a world of magical barriers, relentless passion, and kingdoms built on perilous secrets. For those drawn to morally gray characters, dangerous devotion, and the kind of romance that leaves scars as well as fire, Eden is waiting.


Fae Kings of Eden consists of four books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
