It’s that I actually am a naïve human with no memories of ruling the Fae world. As an evil king. Who hated humans.I mean, how could I even hate humans when I, myself, am human? But the prince regent, Tarsus, who claims to be my step-sibling-turned-lover-turned-enemy isn’t buying it. And I’m not sure how much time I have to convince them that I have no intentions of stabbing them in the back before they run me through with their terrifying antlers.TARSUSClav has got to go.Not only is he making old feelings for him resurface—feelings that I thought were long gone, you know, after he betrayed me all those years ago. But he is a threat to Aden, my human boyfriend. The goddess demanded a human sacrifice. Not just any human sacrifice, she wants Aden. She threatens to bury our continent in ash and lava if we don’t meet her deadline. And somehow Aden believes Clav is our key to making Mother Terra drop her demands.
