The Fae King's Prize
Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?
A grumpy blind fae king who shifts into a griffin falls for his fated mate at a slave auction - and has to win her love the old-fashioned way because she can not feel the bond. The emotional vulnerability from both leads is chef kiss.
Synopsis
When I wake up at a female auction in a world I don’t recognize, all I can think about is getting back home to Texas. I want absolutely nothing to do with a realm called Valora, magic, faeries, or being sold to the highest bidder. But the Day Realm king has other plans. Zander says I’m his fated mate. I don’t believe him. That doesn’t stop him from tricking me into marrying him, though. It doesn’t matter if I argue or run—he won’t let me go. I should hate him. Instead, I find myself ridiculously attracted to the stubborn, broody man. Sometimes he terrifies me, so I don’t know why his rare smiles give me warm tingles or why his arms make me feel safe. Everything about Valora is confusing, but after just a short time here, I realize something—this place is full of dangers that are way more frightening than my new husband, and staying by his side just might be my only option.
