Resumen del Editor

Isolation, darkness, and rotting flesh,

Surround me, suffocate me,

But I am the vile ruler who controls it all.

I long for warmth,

Yet, all that I touch,

Is cold.

Then, she stumbles in to my domain,

Lost and frightened,

Alone and confused.

And I terrify her even more.

She calls me the devil,

So I show her pleasure,

Like only the devil can.

I am the heat that stirs her flesh,

The longing that trembles her bone.

She begs her body to refuse,

To escape my embrace,

But I am her master,

The puppeteer of passion.

I am the King of Flesh and Bone.

Welcome to my court, little one.

King of Flesh and Bone is a full-length dark fantasy novel, the first book in The Pale Court duet. The two-part story features a ruthless man, the woman who can't escape his love, and a happily ever after. This world contains dark themes, violence, loss, and elements of horror some may find disturbing. What this book doesn't contain is a hero—because villains do it better.

Good read but not for the faint of heart!

Great story. Excellent writer. To make anyone feel for this character is proof of another level of skill as a writer. Bravo. Great book. Roller coaster of emotions. And I am getting part two immediately.

Darker Side of Love

If real love had a dark side, this read surely explains it in every steamy erotic and twisted detail!

Cool Story - Bad Reading Performance.

The story is interesting and the writing is great but I'm sorry, Auri's performance is difficult to enjoy when she's acting the male voice. She tried to make the voice low and serious, but for most of the book, it comes out as a whisper forcing the reader/listener to constantly adjust the volume to year what she's saying and then quickly turning it back down when she does the woman's voice as the woman's voice is a normal volume.

The drastic volume changes may not be the performer's fault but the audio engineer's. Either way, someone should have reviewed the performance/production before this was released.

Started slow

This story needed up being a good one but the beginning was very slow. I loved the that female protagonist was strong willed and not a whiny blubbering sissy.

Go in Blind!!!

... I say go in blind on this one. DO NOT LISTEN OR READ any reviews because... they absolutely do this book injustice. ahh! for a dark, super spicy, fantasy romance... this one has a very unique plot that just sings to my soul!

on to the next book!

don't hesitate

I was worried bc people brought up warnings for triggers of SA but I'm so so glad I finished bc this was such a great book!

Dark, sexy, and a great story

If you’re not into dark stories/romances, please don’t be a Karen/SJW and read this book. Please read the reviews and if it’s not your cup ‘o tea, move on to the light/vapid romance novels.

For the rest of you (naughty souls), take a chance and read it. It’s normally not a book I would gravitate towards, BUT I enjoyed it and will read similar books in the future.

Good book

I loved the fantasy aspect of the book. This is not a stand alone book. Can’t wait to start to second.

Great dark fantasy romance

Awesome story, great narration by both Auri Alden and Gregory Salinas. I own the ebooks of this duology and now love listening to the audiobooks!

This duology is very heavy with triggers so make sure you check the trigger warnings before listening to this book.

reading slump OVER

I am in love with both books. I have been in a rutt lately and this snapped me out. even the light parts were dark and the reflection all characters had to do internally shows they are not what they are projecting. well maybe still 😉. the FMC thinking she is just the MMC thinking he is lost .. ugh and the spice.. the spice....
if you do not like dark fantasies, a bit of morbidity graphic detail do not read.
I cannot wait for more from this author. I have a new fav to add and hope she continues and releases soon. the writing flowed well the characters have good background and substance. just damn. I have bought the paper hard copies which I never do but these can't be lost to the "finished" Playlist tomb
