The Once and Never King

The Once and Never King

by

Lady Grim

Neve Ashford never believed in fairy tales… until she fell into one.

One minute, she’s rewriting history. The next, she’s ripped from her world and dropped into a fae court where monsters wear crowns. And one just claimed her as his queen.

Artorius Pendraco is a half-fae king with a crumbling throne, a prophecy he refuses to believe in, and enemies circling like vultures. When a rival lord demands Neve’s hand, convinced her blood holds ancient power, Arthur does the only thing more dangerous than refusing.

He takes her for himself.

A mortal in a court of fae, Neve is trapped in a marriage built on lies and politics, bound to a husband she can’t trust, but can’t seem to resist. And while their alliance was meant to be nothing more than a convenient deception to keep the wolves at bay, every glance, every touch, threatens to unravel the game they’re playing—leaving her to decide if their love was just another myth… or if Arthur was always meant to be hers.

In a world where love and loyalty are as fragile as Arthur's hold on the crown, Neve must uncover the truth of her past and the strength of her heart before it’s too late.
