Stolen from Earth. Fated to be his ruin.

Taken from Earth and thrust into a ruthless bridal competition in a fae realm, I'm forced to fight for a crown I don't want in order to survive.

Vad, the dark, sexy, powerful heir of the Shadow Fae Kingdom, is doing the one thing he never wanted—searching for a bride.

But I don't fit in here, and the top contestants want me dead as soon as I arrive.

Bound by Fated magic and trapped in a deadly game, Vad's every cold glance and harsh words remind me that he doesn't want me, and I sure as hell don't want him.

Yet there's no denying the sparks between us, and the way his touch ignites something in me I can't control.

As the contest grows more dangerous, all I can focus on is survival, which becomes harder and seems to be slipping through my grasp.

But I won't go out without a fight...even if it kills me sooner.

Bonded to the Fallen Shadow King is a royal fae romantasy that includes betrayal, morally gray characters, enemies-to-lovers, a magical pulsing tattoo, a bridal competition, political intrigue, who did this to you, and touch her and unalive.

Ooh, goodness, tell me more.

I’m not going to spoil this book for the next reader—because it deserves to be experienced. That said, I will be honest: for me, it was a bit of a slow burn at the beginning. Once you understand the female lead, especially her backstory, it all starts to make sense. I highly recommend reading the prior books she appears in, because they really explain why she behaves and reacts the way she does here.
Now… the male lead? Chef’s kiss.
You have a character who’s grown tired of his “normal” because life has settled into a predictable rhythm for him—and then along comes someone who is completely not normal in his world. Cue frustration, mental gymnastics, tension, and delicious emotional chaos. Watching him navigate that shift was genuinely enjoyable.
By the end, you’re absolutely invested and need to know what happens next.
Which is exactly why I went ahead and pre-ordered book two without hesitation.
