Queen of Blood
She killed a king. She didn't expect to inherit his kingdom. The sequel to The Faerie King.
I'm Deborah J. Martins, and I write dark romantasy about magical kingdoms, vengeful gods, and morally grey love interests with very naughty, wandering fingers. Read seven novels of slow-burn ruin; feel free to start anywhere, but most readers begin with The Faerie King.
