King's Kiss (COU Special Edition) (en Inglés) - Beck Michaels

He's the God of Shadows.

She's the bride stolen from him.

They were never meant to be.

The darkness is ruled by an entity the world has feared since the dawn of time. Some call him the Netherworld King. Others, the God of Shadows. He nearly conquered the realms, until the Heavens chained him in the black heart of a mountain he swore never to return to.

Princess Alora's kingdom teeters on the edge of ruin as war and a strange Sleeping Curse spreads through the land. When her hand is promised to a conquering prince to secure a fragile peace, she makes a desperate deal with the trapped god in the mountain overlooking her home.

The God of Shadows offers his aid under two conditions: she must set him free... and become his bride. Though she tries to deceive him, the Netherworld King steals her away at the altar, dragging her into a court of demons, seduction, and a power she was never meant to awaken.

At first, Alora is desperate to escape, until she begins to suspect her godly husband may not only be tied to the curse, but to her past. As she unravels forgotten truths buried in shadow, Alora struggles to resist the pull of a god whose obsession burns hotter than any sun.

But as fate tightens its grip, their bond threatens to unmake the world. Because some love stories are written in blood, and this one might end with a kiss-or death.

Inspired by Sleeping Beauty, King's Kiss is the second book in Beck Michaels' dark fairytales series, the Chronicles of Urn-each a dark tale of powerful Kings and the Queens who bring them to their knees...
