The Ghost King's Bride (Fae of the Desolation, #1)

He is a breathy echo in the abyss. And beneath his golden, shifting mists, his terrifying eyes are trained on her.
Princess Liosa hides half her face beneath a curtain of hair. She must wed to save her kingdom from the looming threat of the Rose Court—but if a future husband ever discovers what lies beneath the veil, she could lose both her kingdom and her life.
But on the day she's meant to charm a reluctant suitor into marriage, a terrifying king rises from the Hollow Deep and steals her away—a king colder than death, cloaked in pouring, shifting mist, and carrying the earthy scent of ancient things that have never seen the sun.
Now, she is queen of a realm she never knew lay under her feet: a land of monsters, of melodic dripping water and desolate echoes. Alone, afraid, and spiraling deeper into despair, she clings to the same question she's asked all her life: why has the Great One chosen to burden her with so much pain? Hasn't she suffered enough?
But as she begins to unravel her new husband's enigmatic nature—and her fear of him begins to twist into something much stranger—Liosa learns of deadly plots in the Hollow Deep, plans that could set into motion a chain of cataclysmic events in Starfall above.
Now she must choose: remain the girl hiding behind a veil of her own making, or become the queen the Hollow Deep has been waiting for.
She only wonders— Why did the ghost king choose her?
And can she ever love a creature made of mist?
Each book in the FAE OF THE DESOLATION series follows a different main character, a desperate human who finds herself entangled with powerful Faeory royalty. The series can be read as standalone novels with their own HEAs, but is best read in series order to follow the overarching storyline of saving the world of Starfall from a heartless king.
