THE SUNDERING
Fantasy TWO QUEENS. TWO WORLDS. ONE WAR IMPENDING BETWEEN THEM.
In a realm gleaming with perpetual light, there is a portal to the world’s mirror land. Sebastian of Zelal, the Queen Regent’s Assassin, knows the stories. He always believed they were a lie. He's about to find out for certain.
The Regent wants full control, even at the expense of her son, who has yet to ascend the throne. Sebastian is given the mission to find the portal and get to its other side. Retrieving the Regent’s sister, he must leave his future bride and wander into lands unknown, not knowing if he will live or die. In doing so, perhaps the Regent will gain the glory she desires.
The queen’s sister isn't what she seems to be, and neither are the inhabitants of the mirroring land. Sebastian fears that all he bypassed as night-time tales is true. Who are the Ancients, and what will happen to him, and the two realms should they arrive?
He hopes never to find out. Time is ticking. The second gate is waiting to open, with fiendish powers and monstrous things fighting him along the way.
War is coming. Goddess forbid the two queens should have their way. Light unto darkness, and darkness unto light… what is mortal man against a force as old as humanity? You might like
Three Kings, One prey
Bosy Elselhdar 2 One human girl. Three powerful kings. And a prophecy that demands she unite all three crowns-or watch their worlds burn.
Betrayed by the family she trusted and left for dead beneath the sea, Feyra awakens with a power that should never have survived inside a human body. Worse, she is bound to three dangerous rulers: Arion, the King of the Deep; Cael, the ruthless Wolf King; and Salazar, the venomous Serpent King.
Each of them wants her. Each of them would destroy anyone who threatens her. But as Feyra's connection to the three kings grows stronger, so does the danger surrounding her. A vengeful baron hunts her, a corrupt pod of Merfolk hides deadly secrets, and a rival pack is willing to spill blood to stop the prophecy from coming true.
Arion pulled her against the hard, salt-damp plane of his chest, and for one suspended moment, even the sea seemed to fall silent.
"You belong to the deep," he rasped against her throat.
His webbed fingers traced the frantic pulse beneath her skin, lingering there as if he could feel every secret racing through her veins.
"To the tide. To me."
Feyra arched beneath his touch, her body remembering him even while her mind fought against the claim. The bond between them burned fiercely, but she could feel the other two as well-distant and restless.
Cael's possessive fury.
Salazar's dark, venomous hunger.
"And to them," she whispered.
Arion stilled.
Feyra lifted her chin, meeting his gaze with a defiance that refused to die.
"But I am not yours to keep."
His laugh was low and ancient, like thunder gathering somewhere beyond the horizon. He lifted her effortlessly, and the water rose around them, cool against her heated skin.
"Then let them watch," he murmured.
