Beneath the Hollowed Crown (The Kings of Alasgad #1)

Welcome to Alasgad. Pick your poison… it’s waiting for you.

Elara Varyn has survived everything that was meant to break her. Hunger, chains, and being sold until her name was the only thing she truly owned. However survival has taught her one thing.

Endurance is not freedom. When she is purchased by the Fae King, Rhael Sorenthis, she expects nothing more than a new cage. Instead she is brought into his court and named his companion.

An honour that feels far too much like a life sentence. Nothing about Rhael Sorenthis is merciful.

Seven years ago, he took the throne after betrayal shatters his court and his brothers murder left the crown lined with blood. Since then he has ruled alone, cold and cruel.

Trust is a weakness he cannot afford.

Yet the defiance of his new human slave has unsettled him A dark cunning enemy is tightening its grip on the edges of his kingdom, moving in the shadows and whispers turning old allies into threats.

War is coming, and Rhael cannot win alone, not without rebuilding relationships he once destroyed.

The human at his side? The slave in his court? It is a risk he cannot justify. In a kingdom shaped by betrayal and shadow, the greatest threat may not be the enemy at the gate.

It could be the girl who refuses to kneel.
