Trickster Trysting: A Delicious Dark Romantasy (Bane War, Book 1)

By Jeffer Nightwind

Beauty and the Beast meets 300 meets Gladiator

Let me get this straight. I'm Dragan Navro, the hero, the heir to a nation of badasses who smash ice giants for a living.

Screw that; the only throne I want is a barstool.

Instead of letting me live my life, Thalor, my father, throws me and my twin sister into a frozen wasteland to prove our honor.

Honor can lick my ass.

My plan? Survive, tell the patriarchy to shove the crown where the sun doesn't shine, then anoint Sister, before finding a girl with ridiculously long hair.

That's when Alonka and Puck show up, the lethally gorgeous mavka trickster twins with whips for braids, where mentorship means forging the Hells out of me by day. The only perk? The training continues in my dreams, and let's just say their methods are ... hands-on. This warlord thing might have its benefits if they're part of the deal.

But just as a demon lord adopts me, a cannibalistic devil-woman named Yamuba makes my life a living nightmare. Suddenly, I'm her prisoner, forced into the heart of Galadon, my nation's sworn enemy.

My life is officially a dumpster fire. A bloody, smoking-hot dumpster fire.

Craving shadow daddies and shifter dudes? Find yourself another tale.

Hungry for insanely chaotic and flawed heroes who give rules and tropes the finger? A shadow mommy and mind mistress? The dark jestress? A ripped barbarian with a heart bigger than his bulging biceps?

You're in the right place.
