Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?

You'll get obsessed with the angsty, explicit romance and be left desperate for the next book after a cliffhanger that deepens the mystery.

Synopsis

A prisoner of her own treacherous heart, the willing captive of a foreign kingdom. She thought she had gained her freedom, only to be thrown back into another gilded cage. Locked away in the harem of her captor, Duna must hide her identity as a dangerous plan unravels right before her very eyes, one that if discovered could threaten the very foundation of the ancient Three Kingdoms. He let her go once, she will not escape him a second time. Her life hangs in the air as she makes a deal with a merciless ruler - one word from his beguiling lips and the monster from her nightmares will come for her. Her sanity and willpower are tested when the dark, enigmatic man of her past returns with a lethal determination - he will have his fill of her, no matter the cost. The Storms of Fury is the second novel in an adult dark fantasy series the Forgotten Kingdom Chronicles and is not meant to be read as a standalone. It contains strong language, explicit adult scenes, scenes of violence and death. It is intended for mature audiences only.
