Read the First Chapter of The Night Queen For FREE!
They call me the Night Queen, with a heart as dark as the night itself. And as such, I will rule my future kingdom. No light shall ever touch my broken heart again.
On her twentieth birthday, the beautiful but arrogant Princess Mina von Rhine
crosses the point of no return. Unwilling to be married off to a warmongering
Northerner, she defies her father, the powerful King of the Rhine, and
ridicules all her potential suitors.
Furious at her appalling behavior, her father vows to give Mina's hand in
marriage to the first unmarried man who walks through the palace gates—be it
nobleman or beggar. And when an impoverished Northern soldier arrives at the
castle the following day, the king stands by his word and offers Mina to him.
This ill-suggested match, however, might prove of use to Mina after all. The
Northern soldier doesn’t seem too fond of the marriage himself, so Mina offers
the handsome but insufferable warrior enormous riches if he helps her escape
into the North.
But the dangerous journey through war-torn lands forces the princess to realize
that if she can’t melt her frozen heart, marriage might be the least of her
concerns.
From the author : This is a beautiful, dark, and
romantic re-imagining of the long-forgotten German fairy tale 'King
Thrushbeard' (first published by the beloved Brothers Grimm whose works include
such classics as Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, and Rapunzel). If you’d love
to read an adult version of a compelling old fairy tale
and enjoy enemies to lovers romances with sizzling
passion, then this book is a must-read for you.
Excerpt:
“It’s
nothing, barbarian,” I said in the arrogant and detached tone I often used with
my servants.
His eyes
widened. “What did you just call me?”
I lifted my
chin. “You heard me just fine, barbarian.”
Alrick took
a few large steps toward me. I stumbled backward; my back pressed against the
cold stone wall.
“I have
never come across a more arrogant, big-mouthed woman!” he growled, his face
pinched in anger and frustration.
“Is that
so?” I countered, crossing my arms. “Well, you wouldn’t know how to treat a
woman if the instructions were tattooed on your forehead.” With another quick
step, Alrick was towering in front of me.
“Stop
pushing me!” he warned.
“No! Not
when it comes to a barbaric man like you.”
Alrick
grabbed both of my wrists and pinned me against the wall. His eyes flashed with
firelight. I was breathing heavily now, his breath matching mine.
“What now,
barbarian?” I narrowed my eyes at him. “Are you going to hit me? Is this how
you handle your women in the North?”
His mouth
widened in shock. “Hit you?”
His face was
only inches away from mine. He was so close, I could feel his heart beating
wildly against my chest.
“I bet
violence is the only thing you barbarians know when it comes to women.”
The anger in
his eyes shifted to something else. Something I couldn’t quite make out. I
didn’t think he would hit me. He was not that sort of man. I expected him to
yell, insult me, fight back. But to my surprise, he did none of that. Instead,
he grinned.
“I know
plenty else about women,” he said in a seductive tone. His grip around my
wrists loosened as he pressed himself even harder against me. “I know your bad
temper does not cause your racing heart,” he said. “Or your red cheeks.”
