In the Thrall of the Mountain King

A conqueror blessed by the goddess of war. An elvish princess raised among enemies. A passion that could bring an empire to its knees.

Ten years ago, King Magnus and his armies laid waste to the Summer Isle and executed its rulers. In a moment of mercy, he spared their only child, the faerie maiden Celandine, and brought her to live in his castle at the Winter Court. An indifferent guardian at best, he soon returned to the battlefield, leaving her to fend for herself.

Raised among courtiers who scorn her fae blood, and priests who condemn her gods, Celandine has been forced to content herself with small rebellions, taking pleasure wherever she may find it, grateful to be overlooked by the distant warlord who so callously wreaked havoc upon her fate.

For many years, Magnus has ruled alone, caring for nothing but battle and glory. No woman has captured his interest for more than a few fleeting moments, and he doesn't expect one ever will-least of all his half-forgotten ward.

But when he returns, victorious from his latest conquest, to find she has grown into a wild, untamable beauty, everything changes.

Overnight his disregard becomes obsession. Consumed by unreasonable desire, ignited by jealousy, provoked by her rebellious spirit, Magnus will do anything to make her his.

In the Thrall of the Mountain King is a dark fantasy enemies to lovers romance, suitable for mature audiences.
