Monarch: A Gothic Reverse Harem

By Ada Dart

Be sure to read the first books in Thecla's story before picking up the fourth and final volume of The Rift Bride

Our continent is divided: and so is our family.

With the power vacuum from Parvati's death threatening to eat Valquist alive, my husband, Malin, has no choice but use his military prowess in the name of peace.

Yet as my husband goes to war, my heart is tangled in conflict of its own.

It would seem my father, Rigel, is a dharmine like myself.

Returned from the grave, he pursues vengeance for his stolen life: and to wreak that vengeance upon my husband, Rigel has, in his turn, stolen something infinitely precious to me.

But he has no idea of Dinon, the ally watching from the shadows of my soul.

And neither, for that matter, do I.

Inspired by Bluebeard, Beauty & The Beast, and one or two others, The Rift Bride is a reverse harem gothic romance about a 26-year-old protagonist. This concluding volume features age gap romance, homicidal MMCs, jealous/possessive love, primal play, an HEA, and just the right amount of angst to balance out the very steamy scenes 18+
