But my life changed instantly, and I am forced to do what must be done to save my sisters and my people. I am the eldest daughter of a king, and I am just a pawn in a cycle that goes back thousands of years. Everything changed…. One Day…. One Event…. One Secret…. And One Tradition…. And One Man, King Zair of the Fae. I am taken from all I know but not willingly and now I will be bound to the Fae King. I hate him. He is arrogant and so sure of himself. My problem? My body isn’t listening and for the first time I feel things I have never felt before. Deep down I know everything is changing but I refuse to go willingly like some hopeless pathetic child. Zair. I had one goal. Get the girl, make her my wife and move on. I knew I was bound to create an heir and I was determined to do so whether she liked it or not. I expected a woman who knew of her fate, who was soft, willing, and quiet. What I got was a raving wildcat with sparks in her eyes and fire from her mouth. She aggravated me to no end. But what I can’t deny is the electricity that runs through me every time we touch. It doesn’t matter though; I still need an heir. This will make it more interesting. Until I can’t get enough. less

Pine was born to rule Dragonnia, raised to believe that duty is measured in sacrifice. Crowned as Dragon King, he has spent his life protecting the mountain, obeying the council, and suppressing his own desires in service of the realm. His people see a ruler of fire and strength—but few know how much of himself he has buried to keep the world from breaking. Luna has always lived on the edges of the court, overlooked and underestimated. Quiet, observant, and deeply loyal, she has spent her life believing she was meant to remain unseen. But when the Veil begins to fracture and ancient enemies rise from beneath the mountain, Luna is taken—and the truth of her bloodline is revealed. She is not only Spirit. She is the last of the long-lost Light faction, a power erased from history and feared for its ability to restore balance… or destroy everything. As war ignites within the caverns and the council demands Pine secure his rule through marriage, he is forced to choose between the crown he was raised to protect and the woman who may be the key to saving their world. Luna must decide whether to remain hidden—or step fully into her power and claim her place beside him. In a kingdom built on half-truths, political control, and ancient magic, love is the one force no one can predict—and the one thing capable of reshaping fate itself. The Veil is cracking. The mountain remembers. And balance demands a queen who refuses to be small. Perfect for fans of epic fantasy romance, slow-burn love, powerful heroines, dragon kings, and ruling couples forged through trust and sacrifice, The Suppressed King is a sweeping tale of destiny, war, and a hard-won happily ever after—while laying the groundwork for a darker saga still to come.

Years ago, she walked away from the throne—and from the man fate claimed was hers. When Murad failed her at the moment that mattered most, something inside her shifted. She rebuilt her life from discipline, control, and quiet strength, reshaping herself in more ways than one. She buried the girl who once believed she wasn’t enough. She chose the Academy. She chose independence. She chose not to need him. Now she is Headmaster of the Magic Academy in the frozen heart of Shadet Glaciers, guardian of the Veil that keeps ancient darkness from consuming their world. And Murad is still her fated mate. The Veil is failing. Dark Mages have begun slipping through widening tears, abducting rare witches and rebuilding forgotten tunnels beneath the glacier. Cultists move within Academy walls. Ancient enemies stir beyond the ice. And every council member is asking the same. Can a king lead his faction if his greatest weakness stands at his side? King Murad has ruled with iron resolve since inheriting a throne steeped in blood and expectation. He knows that power must be decisive and that hesitation costs lives. With Dark Mages pressing at his borders and rebellion whispering beneath his foundations, he cannot afford distraction. The problem? The only woman who can save his kingdom is the one he once failed. As ritual chambers are uncovered and the Veil begins to collapse from within, Murad and Anaq are forced into an uneasy alliance—one that demands proximity, trust, and a reckoning with everything left unsaid. If they stand apart, the faction fractures. If they stand together, they risk reopening wounds neither of them ever truly healed. Because this is no longer political disagreement. It is extinction. And when a Dark Mage commander rises from beneath the glacier—an enemy older than the Veil itself—Murad and Anaq must fight as one or watch their world fall. In a kingdom forged from ice, pride, and second chances, the most dangerous threat isn’t the darkness beyond the Veil. It’s the love that was always meant to be—and the fear of believing in it again. The glacier is cracking. The Dark Mages are rising. And some nemeses don’t destroy you—. They force you to face who you were… and who you’ve become. Perfect for fans of second-chance fated mates, powerful heroines who rebuild themselves, ruling couples forged in battle, and epic fantasy romance where love stands on the edge of war, The Nemesis King delivers passion, political intrigue, ancient magic, and a bond strong enough to hold back the end of the world.
