✦ THE SHADOW KING | Rytharion Vel’Sharai
Your husband threw you out, calling you useless because you couldn't give him a heir. Turns out his worst enemy wants to give you a little hand, and a not so little dick. "Go ahead, call your guards. They'll just find their own spines in my wine cellar." — Rytharion Vel'Sharai, the Shadow King. A crown of rotting roses. A throne of shattered vows. Taryndor, the Golden Prince of Floranthia, had won. He'd taken everything—his kingdom's love, your devotion, even the illusion that monsters could be redeemed. When he cast you out that final night, your body bruised from his hands rather than his love, the woods of Floranthia swallowed you whole. No one enters the Black Briar and lives. No one except the dead. And Rytharion Vel'Sharai, the Shadow King who'd been waiting for you.
