His army is the only thing that can save her people ... but his loyalty comes at a price. When a determined young queen makes a pact with a ruthless outcast, she finds herself at the mercy of a man with nothing to lose-and everything to gain.
Scottish folklore meets The Rings of Power and Game of Thrones. THE QUEEN AND THE HALF-BLOOD is an epic Fantasy Romance, set in a dark and lush world inspired by Celtic myth, with a marriage of convenience, delicious spice, and a morally grey hero who will break your heart.
One fateful night, when Lara is lured into the woods by corpse candles, a stranger saves her from a grisly death.
It's her first meeting with the Half-blood ...but it won't be her last.
She's a High Queen without allies. The enemy rules half her realm, and the other half is on the verge of rebellion. She needs help or Albia will fall to the fae.
But at her darkest hour, an unlikely ally emerges-the stranger who saved her life. And he leads an army of wulvers.
Half fae, half human, Alar was cast out of society and has lived too long in the shadows. Now he's ready to step into the light once more. He wants revenge ... and power. He'll fight for her, if she allows him to co-rule.
Her kingdom is dying, and Lara will do anything to save it ... even shackle herself to a dangerous stranger.
From best-selling author Jayne Castel comes a Romantic Fantasy duology set in the same world as The Enforcer's Bride, where druids, mortals, and Fae collide with Celtic myth. If you love stories with The Frog Prince vibes, revenge, and redemption-and if you like fierce heroines, and feral morally grey heroes-you won't be able to put down this addictive Romantasy.
*Please note: This is Book One in a duology and will end on a cliffhanger. Readers are encouraged to read the list of triggers on the author's website.*
