This Vicious Dream (Kingdom of Death #1)
Stacia Stark

Once, I helped save a kingdom.
Now, I’m trapped in a prison of thorns and nightmares.
My crime? Knowing the location of a power that could reshape the world—a grimoire I swore to protect with my life.
That secret is the only thing keeping me alive while my captors wait for me to break.
Until he arrives.
Beautiful. Ruthless.
Dark, inscrutable eyes. A dangerously wicked grin.
But he’s not here to rescue me. He wants the grimoire for himself––and he’ll destroy anyone who stands in his way.
My only choice is a fragile, temporary alliance with a man I can never trust.
Because there’s more at stake than just a stolen grimoire or an ancient grudge.
And behind his mask of effortless allure, he’s hiding something far more dangerous than a thirst for power.
Something that could destroy us all.
