Showing results for "A ROYAL ROMANCE" in Dark Fantasy

I've been hiding out with the dragons, but then mysterious fae show up at the dragons' stronghold and abduct me at the King's command. The royals of Embermere are hosting the Fae Heir Trials to find their successors. The winners will marry and become the next to rule the fae lands. Turns out I'm the King's illegitimate daughter, and the wicked queen intends to kill me off during the challenges. I find myself thrust into a barbaric tournament where death is all but guaranteed. I'm competing against the most gorgeous, deadly fae warriors of the realm.

Despite beating the queen at her own wicked game and completing the Fae Heir Trials, the tyrant refuses to hand over the crown. Instead, she claims she'll rule forever. Using corrupt blood magic, she's made herself immortal.

To marry Drake Rush Vega—my mate.

I barely survived my first trials. Now the stakes have been raised. The queen imprisoned my only family to control me after I defied her. I'd hoped my father, the king, would become an ally, but he won't dare betray the queen. Luckily, it turns out I'm not the only one who wants to see her fall. I'm fighting on all fronts, trying to stay alive through the trials while also joining the rebellion's fight. As a further complication, the pull I feel toward Rush is becoming harder to resist.

They're waiting for you. Those four words should have been a warning. They should have filled Violet with dread. But she was so focused on Rafe's disappearance, she forgot. The resistance was supposed to be fighting for a better world. A group of freedom fighters formed during the Monarch War, pushing back against laws that would see everyone enslaved. For a while there, they gave hope. But with power comes corruption. The Society has been quietly amassing the strength and backing to become a real threat, and not everyone wants to use that power for good.

Sie befürchtet, als Blutsklavin für einen der von ihr so verhassten Vampire ausgewählt zu werden. Doch was auch immer in Gefangenschaft mit ihr passieren wird, niemals dürfen diese Monster ihre wahre Identität enthüllen.

Joel Barker is a small town vet and licensed pet groomer, and he used to own his own pet supply store. He's a bit of a renaissance man like that. He's always been good with cats and dogs and things like that, but imagine his reaction when a pale little girl with a pair of suspiciously sharp fangs visits his shop with her big brother, the Grim Reaper. The pet they ask him to help? A three-headed fire-breathing dog from the line of Cerberus.

Um. Um. Um. Are you reading this? If you are, I need your help. I was at a party; I was running; I fell. And get this - this is the part you'll never believe - I fell down a rabbit hole.
