The King of Deceit
(2024)(The first book in the Secrets of the Dark Crown series)
A novel by Leona Bushman
Do not blast me with your lies, for I will serve you justice. ~ King of Deceit
Bored with life, the King of Deceit enters into a binding magical contract, which lands him in the human realm. Once there, he finds much amiss, including his intended, and it traces back to the supernatural realm.
Someone—or something—knows too much about how to kill a sprite for the killer to be a human. But who has such dark knowledge of their realms? More, who would dare use it? Before he can answer the deeper secrets plaguing the human world, he is nearly killed. His parents, the High King and Queen of all the Supernatural Realms, whisk him back for healing. Until the Old Magik forced him back to the human realm to mete out justice for the broken contract.
Rosemary Wolfkind Dragonborn’s mother keeps her isolated and away from everyone she doesn't approve of, controlling her at every turn. However, Rosemary finds her own secret place away from the castle. A place her and her magic could be free from those still prejudiced after The Great War—including and maybe especially her mother. When she meets Cleas, her plans of an independent life are gone awry, but that is nothing compared to what her mom would do if she found out she'd chosen a leprechaun.
They try to keep their relationship secret, but something still tries to destroy and control them at Castle Wolfkind years later, long after the war ended. Long after they'd thought it gone from the lands.
Cleas and Rosemary need to join forces to beat it, to work their magic together, even as others fought them. Would the evil be too strong to withstand before they could destroy it for good?
Genre: Paranormal Romance
