SIGNED: King of the Unblessed (Realm Immortal #1) Paperback
Signed Print. Epic High Fantasy Romance. Book One in the Realm Immortal series. Dark Fantasy Romance, Romantasy.
Her betrothed was murdered. The village children disappeared into the dark. And Lady Juliana of Bellemare did the one thing no sane woman would ā she crossed into the immortal realm to bring them back. She had no idea a cursed king had already been watching her for months. That he had already decided she was his.
Merrick was once heir to everything good. Now, cursed as the ruler of mischief and king of necessary evil, he stands trapped between his estranged brother's blessed kingdom and the abyss of damnation pulling him under.
Damnation is winning.
Before he is lost forever, he craves one final taste of the happiness he once owned. When Juliana awakens an obsession he cannot control, he doesn't just want her.
He needs to claim her.
He offers her a soul-shattering bargain: come with him into a land of beautiful nightmares, or face what waits in the dark. The line between fear and desire begins to blur. She came to save the lost. He intends to possess her completely. What neither of them planned is what happens when an obsessed king meets the one woman fearless enough to look at all that darkness and refuse to flinch.
She walked into his kingdom to save the lost. He was not supposed to be one of them.
ā ļø Warning: This book contains love, violence, trickster goblins, overly helpful sprights, a king of necessary evil who lives to get his way, and the woman who would dare to deny him.
