Aurena is the King’s favorite and the King is not just any king, he is Midas and he can turn anything into good-including Aurena. The other saddles aren’t particularly fond of her. There is another King who wants a night with Aurena in exchange for Midas giving his troops and support to attack another kingdom.
This is definitely for people 18 and over because the first scene is definitely explicit to give warning. There really isn’t any romance in this one and the love interest for Aurena is not introduced literally until 80% into the book. This book is the backstory to set up for the next two books and I’ve had many people tell me this is like a prequel for the other two books, but once you get to book two it gets addicting. I’m really excited to read the others and see what the hype is about.
