Just when light touched my broken heart again, tragedy visited my doorstep once more. Happily ever after is not exactly happening in the Rhine Kingdom. With Alrick fending off his own downfall in the North and enemies coming from near and far for Mina's crown, the young queen stands atop a crumbling world. But when a rescuing hand offers itself from the unlikeliest of places in the form of a man the world calls a monster, Mina has no choice but to consider accepting... even if everything and everyone she still holds dear will never be the same if she does. From the author: This is a spicy fairy tale retelling of the long-forgotten German fairy tale King Thrushbeard. It was one of the first stories to use the enemies to lovers and forced marriage romance tropes. The original story was first published for adults by the beloved Brothers Grimm (whose works include such classics as Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, and Rapunzel). If you'd love to read a dark fantasy romance for adults and enjoy steamy romance books, this is a must-read. This is the SECOND book in a series. The Night Queen (book I)Queen of Ashes (book II)

They call me the Night Queen, with a heart as dark as the night itself. And as such, I will rule my future kingdom. No light shall ever touch my broken heart again. On her twentieth birthday, the beautiful but arrogant Princess Mina von Rhine crosses the point of no return. Unwilling to be married off to a warmongering Northerner, she defies her father, the mighty King of the Rhine, and ridicules all her potential suitors. Furious at her appalling behavior, her father vows to give Mina's hand in marriage to the first unmarried man who walks through the palace gates-be it nobleman or beggar. And when an impoverished Northern soldier arrives at the castle the following day, the king stands by his word and offers Mina to him. This ill-suggested match, however, might prove of use to Mina after all. The Northern soldier doesn't seem too fond of the marriage himself, so Mina offers the handsome but insufferable warrior enormous riches if he helps her escape into the North. But the journey through war-torn lands forces the princess to realize that if she can't melt her frozen heart, marriage might be the least of her concerns. From the author: This is a beautiful, dark, and romantic re-imagining of the long-forgotten German fairy tale King Thrushbeard. It was first published by the beloved Brothers Grimm (whose works include such classics as Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, and Rapunzel. Some consider the Brothers Grimm as the 'inventors' of many modern-day romance tropes, including enemies to lovers and rags to riches).
