Her master wanted proof that the old gods were real. He never expected one to choose her.
Bath, England, 1726.
Flossie Collins has spent three years serving in the household of Julian Hunniford, a respected physician and natural philosopher who barely knows she exists. She loves him anyway, quietly and hopelessly, clinging to every rare word and accidental glance.
Julian knows exactly how she feels.
When he asks Flossie to clean his forbidden laboratory after dark, she believes he has finally noticed her. Instead, he locks the door and offers her to the ancient fertility god he has summoned in pursuit of scientific glory.
The Hare King is enormous, inhuman, and older than the faith Julian claims to follow. But he refuses to take what has not been freely given.
He offers Flossie a choice.
By morning, she is no longer entirely human.
Her senses sharpen. Her fingernails become claws. Something divine begins growing inside her, transforming the invisible maid into living proof that Julian's experiment succeeded. As his curiosity becomes obsession, Julian stops seeing Flossie as a woman at all. She is his discovery, his fortune, and soon the star attraction in a carnival exhibition where crowds pay to watch her body change.
But Flossie does not belong to Julian.
She belongs to the god whose mark she carries.
And the Hare King can feel every cage, every wound, and every hand laid upon his mate.
The men of Bath have paid good money to witness a monster.
They are about to meet one.
The Night of the Hare King is an explicit dark historical monster romance featuring an ancient fertility god, a servant heroine, consensual claiming, supernatural pregnancy, body transformation, obsessive exploitation, brutal vengeance, and a monstrous HEA.
