King
ByPublisher Description
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling authors Kristin Cast and Gina L. Maxwell, King is an enchanting, steamy romantasy novella in the tarot-inspired Towerfall universe.
A night of wine and witchcraft turns into a waking nightmare when Elara is torn from her world and thrown into the fantastical kingdom of Towerfall—where magick is power, and she's the prize.
Auctioned to the highest bidder, she's bought and rescued by Ronan, the King of Swords—a broody warrior seeking vengeance against the person who destroyed his life. He doesn't believe in fate. He doesn't believe in love. But Elara isn't just another pawn he can use in his games—she's sharp and cutting, beauty and banter at every turn.
She makes him a deal: her help with his revenge in exchange for a way home. But as Ronan trains her, the line between their agreement and their desire blurs.
He never meant to crave her. She never meant to fall in love.
But in a world not her own and a situation growing more precarious by the day, falling for the King of Swords might be the most dangerous gamble of all.
*This novella was formerly published as Bound by Shadows*

Gina L. Maxwell
Gina L. Maxwell is a New York Times, USA Today, and #1 International bestselling author living in the upper Midwest, despite her scathing hatred of snow and cold weather. As a lifelong romance novel addict, she began writing as another way of enjoying her love of Happily Ever Afters.
Her debut novel in 2012, Seducing Cinderella, hit the bestseller lists within a month of its release and continues to be a fan favorite more than a decade later.
When she’s not reading, writing, or spending way too much on planners and office supplies, Gina enjoys hanging out with her son and daughter who’ve left the nest, snuggling her many fur babies, and dreaming of her someday-move to someplace tropical.
