A Court of Whimsy and Ruin
(2024)(The fifth book in the Royal Fae of Arathay series)
A novel by Zara Dusk
The Shadow King wants to destroy the fae realms. But first, he wants to destroy me.
The Shadow King commands an army of the walking dead, driven by vengeance and wrath to bring devastation across every fae land.
Me, I just want an adventure. I’m a human girl, stuck in the human world until I score an invitation to my cousin’s wedding in the fae Realm of Caprice. But when the Shadow Walkers strike during the celebration, it becomes clear that only a human can stand against their particular brand of evil magic.
So, always seeking adventure, I volunteer to meet with the Shadow King on his distant Isles with the lofty goal of brokering peace. My cousin refuses to allow it, thank Christ.
But that doesn’t keep me safe. Because the Shadow King has set his sights on me, and the Shadow King always gets what he wants. Prisoner in his castle while my new fae friends fight battles across the lands, the only way I can get out of this alive is to betray my allies and family. I need to weigh my life against theirs, which gets harder and harder as the Shadow King works his way under my defences and into my heart.
This is the epic conclusion of the Royal Fae of Arathay series. Expect plot twists, found family, steamy romance, and a resolution to the ongoing Shadow Walker and heirs of Verda storylines.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
