Heroes never win. But villains sometimes do.

A Monarchs & Monsters dark fantasy romance between a damaged dryad and four monstrous heroes. Expect danger, revenge, monsters, gods, and a game with life and death consequences.

I've made mistakes, but nothing like this.

Now stuck with criminals and monsters as a sacrificial offering in a game with no winners, I'll be lucky to survive in one piece. If I even want to.

But something drives me despite my recent loss. Revenge? Hope for a lonely future? Or my sudden fascination with my new companions, who all have secrets they don't want to share?

The fire fae is all anger and hostility, burying deep hurt.

The merman is charm and seduction while plotting behind our backs.

The orc seems like he cares...but enough to stay close when his past comes calling?

And then there's the handsome demon. I think he might be something I've never seen before. And he keeps calling me "pet."

We have to endure the trials to survive. But I've also been tasked to do something beyond my ability if I want any peace.

Stop the war god.

But it's all I can do to stay alive when there's a bounty on my head, and I'm surrounded by everyone who wants to do bad things to me. Hurting me is the least of what they’ll do if they learn what I really am. My existence is an automatic death sentence.

I can't let anyone know my truth. Except to stop this war god, I'll need to call on a power I've never been able to use and trust my team won't kill me when they find out the truth. Even if I don't lose my head, I might just end up losing my heart in the process.

***this book is a stand-alone, complete romance with no cliff-hangers. Each book in the MONARCHS & MONSTERS world is its own story unless otherwise noted. Read the trigger notice in the beginning of the book and be prepared for morally gray characters who do bad things—only sometimes—for the right reasons.***
