Two dark fae male captors. This is war, and they are the spoils. Prantia Onivia’s wedding feast is invaded by death fae rebels, who destroy everything in in their path and cut a bloody swath through the night. Onivia’s new husband is killed, as are her father and brothers. Her only surviving family member is her sister Magdalia. Magdalia is Favored, which means she is in possession of a rare and powerful magic. The Croith, the death fae’s Night King, wants to make use of her talents, so he has sent his armies to bring her to him. The sisters are separated. Onivia vows to save her sister. However, she is being held captive in a fae war encampment as the Centurion Larent’s prize. She is powerless to stop him from doing what he wishes with her, and she is marked for the centurion’s bed. Magdalia is taken to the north, to the capital city, where the Night King has invaded the emperor’s palace, and where he waits for her presence eagerly. But when she is thrown down at the hem of his black robes, she can’t help but be horrified. She knows him. Painful, passionate dark fae fantasy. Lovers and enemies all at once. Morally gray characters. Vengeance. Love that is more agonizing than hate. Magic. War. Slave revolts. Warnings for explicit content, mature language, and non-consensual sex.

Can she hold it back, or will she and her king be swallowed whole in the ecstatic madness of dark power? Naxus Albus, dux bellorum, deserts the legions for the love of a woman he calls Galvia. What he doesn’t know is that she’s a fae spy, and that she was sent by his half brother Larent to destroy him. Olirius Cassus knows the fae woman Isha in his cage is useless to him in the wake of the capital's demise. He should kill her. But it does seem a waste to destroy something so pretty. Prantia Onivia is safe on the other side of the mountains in Emmessia, where she will do anything to protect her unborn child, even court the attention of the Emmessian emperor. Legatus Larent isn’t dead for some reason, even though that’s what he deserves. If he can’t die, he’ll protect his people, even if that means protecting them from their own Night King, who is increasingly erratic and violent. Above all, most importantly, he’ll stay away from Onivia. Forever. less
