WELCOME TO THE BRIDE HUNT. A blood moon. A deadly labyrinth. A Trickster God who never plays fair.
I was a child when the Huntsman stole my life. He brutally cut down my best friend and dragged me to the Pen—a place where girls like me are prepared for the Bride Hunt. They trained me to kneel.
To obey. To be a dutiful prize for the man who claims me and becomes King. But I’ve spent a decade sharpening my rage into a blade. Now the Hunt has begun, and I’m done being weak.
Every lesson of submission they forced upon me, every scar they inked into my flesh—I’ll use as weapons.
I’ll turn the hunters against one another, twist their desires into daggers, and claim my throne atop the ruins of their world. But then he arrives.
The Huntsman. A masked monster with a painted grin and a body built for war. A killer who has no right to be here, yet he prowls the Labyrinth like a beast scenting his prey. I should hate him.
I do hate him. And yet, when he watches me, the air becomes electric. When he moves, I feel his presence like a familiar shadow at my back. When he kills, he does it for me.
No matter what, I must remember—he murdered my childhood friend. If he thinks I’ll be his queen, his conquest, another bride to ruin—he’s wrong. I am no kingmaker. And I kneel for no one.
The Queen is part of The Bride Hunt shared world dark romantasy series and can be read out of order.
