The Night Queen : A Steamy Fairy Tale Novel by Denise Daye

My heart is like broken glass, Northerner. Leave it broken, or you'll get hurt putting it back together. Mina To most, I'm the villain. Night Queen. Demon’s bride. Dark magic witch. But to the suitors my father has invited from the barbaric North, I'm their ticket to a mighty crown. I could be a good princess and play along—bend like a blade of grass in the wind. But I won't. Escape is my only option now, and as cruel fate has it, I'll need the help of a Northern warrior to survive. But the price he asks for my freedom might be more than I'm willing to pay. It could cost me everything. It could mean my demise... Alrick To most, she's as beautiful as an angel—with a heart as dark as the night itself. They say no light can reach her iron heart. But they are wrong. Her heart isn't frozen. It's broken. She mistrusts me. Thinks I'll be her ruin. But may the gods be my witness... it's her who will be mine. From the author: This is a beautiful, dark, and romantic re-imagining of the long-forgotten German fairy tale King Thrushbeard, which was one of the very first stories to use the enemies to lovers trope. It was first published by the beloved Brothers Grimm (whose works include such classics as Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, and Rapunzel!). This book is a must-read if you’d love to read an adult version of a compelling old fairy tale and enjoy romances with sizzling passion. This is the FIRST book in a series. The second book, Queen of Ashes, will be released in September! The book ends on a mild cliffhanger, but book II is just around the corner.
