The Taboo King (The Faction Kings #6)
Anastacia Ray
Trina was never meant to return to the palace in the heart of the Oresius Jungle.
Half Light Elf. Half Dark Elf. A living fracture line between two enemy bloodlines. She left years ago with a broken heart and the knowledge that loving the future king would never be simple.
Now she’s back—and the jungle is at war.
The Dark Elves have begun attacking the borders, striking villages under cover of shadow and fire. Whispers of rebellion spread through the factions. Blood stains the roots of the ancient trees. And every council member is asking the same question:
How can a king defend his people while loving one of them?
King Kateb has ruled with discipline since he was barely more than a boy. He was taught that weakness invites invasion and that the crown must always come before the heart. With the Dark Elves pushing closer to Oresius and traitors stirring within his own walls, he cannot afford distraction.
The problem?
The only woman he has ever loved carries Dark Elf blood in her veins.
As attacks intensify and assassins slip through palace corridors, Kateb and Trina are forced into an impossible position. If they stand together, they risk fueling suspicion that the enemy already has a foothold inside the throne. If they stand apart, they weaken the one bond strong enough to unite the factions.
Because this is no longer political tension.
It is war.
And when ancient power awakens inside Trina—magic that bends both light and shadow—she becomes more than a scandal.
She becomes a weapon.
In a kingdom divided by blood, fear, and centuries of hatred, the most dangerous choice a king can make is to love the enemy.
The jungle is burning.
The Dark Elves are advancing.
And some taboos don’t just break hearts—
They start wars.
Perfect for fans of forbidden romance, enemies-to-lovers tension, ruling couples forged in battle, and epic fantasy worlds where love stands on the edge of war, The Taboo King delivers passion, betrayal, political intrigue, and a bond powerful enough to reshape a kingdom.
This book contains steamy scenes, battle violence, and mature themes. Intended for readers 18+.
