Bound to a dark king…   Everyone in the world of Under has magic. Everyone belongs to one of the six ruling houses.   Everyone except me.   When all of Under gathers for the ancient Ceremony of the Fall and my weakness is revealed, hungry eyes turn my way. For some I’m unique, a mystery to be solved. For others I’m prey.   From now on, every day will be a fight to survive.    Most dangerous of all, I’ve drawn the attention of Aon, the mysterious king who rules the House of Shadows. Dark and seductive, he appears in my dreams, igniting a desire I can’t control.   They say Aon is a monster, a killer, and worse… So why do I find myself drawn to him? His face is hidden behind a mask, but his voice and his touch enchant me.    When the magic of Under begins to change, the six houses are thrown into a struggle for power and I begin a deadly game of cat and mouse with Aon’s rivals. Because if they discover our bond, they will stop at nothing to destroy me.    King of Flames begins a steamy and addictive six-book series of villainous kings and dark romance that’s perfect for fans of Raven Kennedy, Nikki St. Crowe and Penelope Barsetti.  This fully revised new edition is darker and spicier than ever.    See why readers love The Masks of Under series:   “Oh.

In the remote foothills of the north, the village of Dran is attacked by lethal predators.While her townsfolk hide within the caverns, safe from the rimy beasts lurking around their homes, Maren is trapped outside with a thief from the jail. All her life, she's been taken for granted as the village's underappreciated healer. For so long, she's wished for nothing more than to leave, but with her sister infected by a horrid, mystical disease, travel is impossible.Now locked out of the caverns for months, she is faced with the idea of freedom and considers her companion's proposition. Kane may be a criminal, but his offer of an alliance is her ticket out of Dran: help him find an item he's lost while he takes her to a rare plant—the only known remedy for her sister's ailment.Leaving her home is no easy feat. From the moment she strikes out, she must find her way through danger, lies, and riddles.

But can she trust this man?Can she believe him when he suggests the impossible—that she, a common healer from the mountains, might not only be fae herself, but the one who can save all of the mainland?
