King of Flames (Fae of Fire and Ash Book 1)
Xerxes the King of Flames is out to regain the power he lost to the King of Frost, so he can wreak havoc in the realms once more. He’s focused, vicious and, worst of all, he’s after me.
You see, I, Cerys Dark, am the only mage who can help him regain his full power. I’ve learned to hate him long before I met him, but I'll be damned, when he comes for me it’s not a hideous demon that I face. It’s a king riddled with shadow, magic and the promise of guilty pleasures. In exchange for my help he promises me freedom from the fated mates' bond that we share - a curse in its own right. His proximity entices me in all the wrong and yet oh-so-right ways, but staying under his control would eventually consume me. So here I am, faced with an impossible choice. Do I save myself, or do I save the realms?
