How To Claim A Shadow King - Paperback

by January Bell (Author)

I always knew my bloodline would demand a price... I just assumed it would involve a dusty ballroom and a mortal lord.

I never expected my stepfather to trade my hand to an ancient entity with burning ember eyes and zero respect for personal space.

The moment the fabled King of Shadows claims me, I'm swept away into a ruined fortress hidden deep in the Wild Oak Woods. On the outside, Castle Shadow is all crumbling stone and creepy rumors. Inside? It's a warm, sentient mansion that happens to be an aggressive matchmaker.

Even worse, it turns out I'm a witch, and a light bursts from my skin every time the Shadow King gets under it. Malakai insists he can help me control my magic, but his lessons look a lot less like mentorship and a lot more like breathless kisses in the forest.

The more time we spend together, the more I realize he isn't a heartless monster... and I might even like him. But a wild fae magic is stirring, and my new home (and possessive new husband) are right in its path. If I want to protect the Wild Oak Woods, I'll have to unleash the power inside me... and claim the Shadow King along with it.
