Of Darkness and Ruination is book one in Rachel Fallon’s The Star Queen Chronicles, set in the magical world of Celesterra, a world run by fae and where all humans are slaves. At the age of 21, each human is to leave their families and face Placement Day, which is where they are placed in a different kingdom within Celesterra. Asteria is sent to the Dusk Kingdom and is to be the personal slave for Crown Prince Cyrus, who wants Asteria to give in to his lust and desire for her. She refuses and knows it is a matter of time before he takes it by force, and the only option is to escape. She will be killed if she is caught, and what’s worse, the ruthless King Calix of the Night Kingdom keeps attacking the Dusk Kingdom. There is a war brewing in Celesterra, and Asteria seems to be in the middle of it.

Tragically Yours by Jamie Applegate Hunter

“Tragically Yours is a dual POV standalone fantasy romance with a romance-heavy plot & simple world building. It is a fast-paced, easy read.”

Tragically Yours is book 3 in Jamie’s Fae Kings of Eden series; they are all standalones that can be read in any order, though. This book follows Dean, who is the fae Prince and then later on the King of the Garden Kingdom, and Fawn, who is half human, half fae. Dean is a full bloodied fae and a royal one at that. On the 13th birthday, the royal fae are whispered the name of their mate. There mate who will have been born on the same day as him, traditionally, royals find their mates at 13 and bring them straight to their kingdom to keep them safe. Dean, however, cannot find his mate; he can feel her through the bond until the bond goes silent. His father then delivers the news of her death.

I hope you’re a good man. Because if you’re not, I’ll have no problem burying you beneath a pile of shit where you belong.
