THE GLOAMING KING
Book One of The Blood Sovereign Saga
One sacrifice.
One cursed king.
One bond that was never supposed to exist.
For a thousand years, the people of the mortal realm have paid the same terrible price. Every generation, one soul is offered to the Hollow Court to keep an ancient curse from consuming both worlds.
No one ever returns.
When healer Wren Sorrell volunteers to become the next Tithe, she expects to die.
Instead, she awakens in a kingdom of immortal fae ruled by Kaelen Vayne, the mysterious Hollow King-a monarch feared as a monster, haunted by a past he refuses to speak of, and burdened by a curse that has slowly destroyed everything he has ever loved.
The bargain should have made Wren another forgotten sacrifice.
Instead, it binds her directly to the king himself.
As ancient magic awakens, assassins close in, and buried secrets begin to unravel, Wren discovers that the greatest lie in history is not the curse...
It's the story everyone believes about how it began.
To save two worlds, she must decide whether to trust the king everyone fears.
And Kaelen must choose between protecting his kingdom...
...or the woman who may finally be capable of breaking it.
