Author's Note: To Poison a King is an adult standalone fantasy romance featuring a brooding hero and a gifted yet self-conscious healer. The story is written for readers who want to know a character from the inside out who are in it for the build who like to watch a transformation take place over time because that's how you really feel it. I wrote this book from the heart as true as I could make it. I think it changed me to write it. I hope it changes you too. - S.G.Content Warning: This book contains reference to attempted suicide attempted sexual assault violence gore death of an infant and sex.
