The Horned King's Bride

Every generation, the mountain demands a bride.

Every bride dies.

When the ancient Crimson Bell chooses nineteen-year-old Eliora, her life ends before it has truly begun. Torn from the only home she has ever known, she is taken across the Black Pass to the cursed mountain kingdom of Vareth—to become the bride of the legendary Horned King.

King Maelor is the monster whispered about in every kingdom. Feared for his horns, his immortal strength, and the ancient curse bound to his bloodline, he has buried six queens with his own hands. He has sworn never to love again... because every woman who wears his crown is destined to die.

But Eliora is different.

Hidden within her veins is a forgotten bloodline powerful enough to uncover the truth behind the covenant that has ruled Vareth for a thousand years. As ancient enemies emerge, betrayals threaten the throne, and long-forgotten gods awaken beneath the mountain, Eliora and Maelor discover that the greatest danger isn't the curse...

It's falling in love before time runs out.

To break the covenant, they must challenge the gods themselves.

If they fail, an entire kingdom will fall.

If they succeed, they may lose each other forever.
