I was seconds from death when Aon returned to Under, and carried me away to his palace. Now I wander through its ballrooms and libraries, surrounded by dark luxury, searching for my place in this deadly world.
The King of Shadows is everything that people say—ruthless, savage, master of the darkest magic, and a prince of pain.
And yet I still crave his touch.
Trapped together, our temptation turns to passion. Am I his lover, his guest, or his prisoner? Is it really possible that I’m falling for him?
One thing is certain. If I leave Aon’s protection, his rivals will hunt me down. As they close in around us, I must uncover the magic that binds me to him, before an ancient war returns to Under and tears us both apart…
King of Shadows is the second volume in a steamy and addictive six-book series of villainous kings and dark romance that’s perfect for fans of Raven Kennedy, Nikki St. Crowe and Penelope Barsetti.
This fully revised new edition is darker and spicier than ever.
