Kingdom of Shadow and Ruin

An arranged marriage with a doomed fae king. A court of shadows and secrets, where falling in love can be lethal.

To broker peace between two fae kingdoms, I agree to marry the king of Evergorne Court, a union built on duty, not desire. I'm doomed to a life without love.

Onboard the king's ship, I meet his bodyguard, Lore, a brooding shadow of a man who's maddeningly arrogant and too handsome for his own good. He ignites something wild and dangerous inside me, something I must resist at all costs.

My new husband, King Merrick, is equally stunning. He makes me laugh, and to my surprise, he makes me hope. He offers me kindness, a chance to heal my wounded soul, and he ignites feelings I thought had died with my lost love.

Yet, beneath the intoxicating beauty of Evergorne Court, darkness festers. Secrets weave a web of intrigue, leaving me tangled in a treacherous game where trust is scarce, and desire is lethal. Love could be my fiercest weapon, or the very thing that tears me apart.

Bride of Ashes is full of steamy romance, gothic suspense, and secrets that will challenge everything Reyla thought she knew about the fae world—and herself.

Contains mature themes.
