Calliste is a healer moments away from becoming high priestess when the dark, domineering King Theron storms her sanctuary. Abducted and blackmailed, she watches nine years of grueling effort go up in smoke—along with her hopes of safety. He’s dragging her back to the same capital she fled, a glittering city that left her with nightmares and scars.
Theron is a shell of a man with the weight of a crown slowly crushing him. He’ll do anything to save his sleep-cursed son—even capturing a beautiful priestess cherished by the gods. But as Calliste begins to mend his shattered heart, it takes everything he has not to act on his dangerous desires.
Their forbidden passion soon inflames tensions in Theron’s kingdom—and sparks envy in the god Calliste serves. Bound by duty and with destructive secrets lingering between them, can their love survive, or will it doom them both?
Healer to the Broken King is a slow-burn fantasy romance featuring mature protagonists, forbidden romance, tortured heroes, and worlds inspired by Greek mythology.
