Publisher's Summary

The clock runs down to midnight…

Prince Finrael Ravenspar must defy his father’s will and cross back to the Kingdom of Rirea to save his beloved King Rohan De Clare from the undead. Finally together again, Finrael and Rohan desire only to be with one another and enjoy their newfound love, including attending the royal ball to celebrate the kingdom’s alliance against the Death Mage Marikoth.

But ancient prophecies and present enemies are working to destroy both Rirea and the Fae Empire. Will their combined power be able to stop the world from being turned into a graveyard?

This will be a five-book, high fantasy series with fated lovers, magnificent monsters, and powerful magic.

Note: This novel series has cliff-hangers! Every book will end on one. That’s my natural writing style. If you do not like cliff-hangers, wait until the whole series is published to listen. Thanks for the support!

X. Aratare writes gay paranormal romance with witches, vampires, magic, and mystery. Though some books may venture into dark territory, they will all have happy endings.

Another excellent Raythe Rayne story!

Easily the best retelling of Cinderella you’re going to find. Period. Edward Fox. Has an absolutely beautiful regal voice that sucks you right into the world, the characters are brilliantly written and feel so real. In this book Finn finally goes back home to spent quality time with his king, Finds some pretty damn shocking revelations about death mages while simultaneously finally facing the horrrific abuse he and Christopher suffered under his stepfather.

tries too hard to be high fantasy

heavy borrowing from LOTR, overly convenient magic (the ring that brings light in darkness, the orb of communication, the ring of teleportation, probably the ring of microwave ovens) both simplifies and over complicates what should be a straightforward story. The lengthy elvish (oops I mean fae) histories don't feel like they add much except run time and I miss the less weighty storytelling of the first book tbh. The stakes just feel so unrealistically high for fairly bland characters that it's hard to care much.
