Synopsis
Three dark kings rule my fate. The Ember King burns with fury and thirsts for destruction. The Frost King strikes without mercy and delights in cruelty. And the Iron King weaves lies into chains to cage his enemies. For centuries, a cursed war has raged between the three fae kingdoms, their ruthless kings hunting for the power to destroy each other once and for all. All my life, my father has warned me: the power they seek¿ is me. I am the first female oracle born since the war began, and even though my magic is yet to ignite, the three kings will stop at nothing to use me as a weapon in their brutal rivalry. So I've run, fleeing with my father from village to village, never revealing what I am. When tragedy strikes, I must make a terrible choice: keep running or challenge the kings to claim me¿ One whose desire could ruin me. One whose heart could shatter me. And one whose secrets could destroy us all. Fans of Sarah J. Maas and Jennifer L. Armentrout will devour this why choose romantasy, where forced proximity with each morally gray fae king slow-burns to a searing chemistry and the female main character doesn't have to choose between them-unless fate forces her hand.
