From Amelia Hutchins, award-winning author of The Fae Chronicles, and author of the internationally bestselling series Playing with Monsters comes a new dark and sensual epic fantasy series set in a world of magic realms, mystical creatures, royal intrigue, and betrayal. Join Aria Primrose Hecate on a journey of self-discovery as she races to find her missing twin sister and save her family from a war that’s been brewing within the Nine Realms for over five hundred years.
Aria and her sisters return to the Human Realm of Haven Falls to find one of their own that’s gone missing. They soon discover things have changed in the Human Realm and that nothing is what it seems, including Knox, the egotistical, self-centered, frustratingly gorgeous man who declared himself King during their absence.
Sparks fly when the two enter a fiery battle of wills as Aria learns she is more than just a witch in the Hecate bloodline; she is much, much more.
Will Aria embrace her savage side to find her sister and save her family, or will she burn to ashes from his heated kisses and burning hot embrace?
Knox has ulterior motives for being in Haven Falls and never expected the little witch to show up and brazenly challenge his rule.
It was supposed to be easy; get in and get out. Move pieces into place and set the stage for the war he’s been planning for over five hundred years. Aria is his sworn enemy but something within her calls to him and he hates himself for craving the fiery kisses that have reignited his cold, dead heart. One taste, and he thought he could get her out of his system. He was wrong.
Will Knox let go of the memories of the past, driving his need for revenge that will destroy the pretty little witch he craves, or will he push the boundaries to fight for and claim what is his by right? Either way, war is inevitable. And nothing will stop him from reaching for what is his.

Read full series description
At the heart of the story is a battle for dominance, but it’s not just about power. It’s about the price of that power and the sacrifices that characters must make to claim it. The stakes are high, and the players are not just those wielding swords—some of the most dangerous forces are the ones that come from within. Characters are forced to reckon with their own destinies, and the lines between right and wrong become blurred as loyalty is tested, and the world around them shatters.
From the fierce warriors with their tragic pasts to the enigmatic figures who hold more power than they’re willing to admit, the Legacy of the Nine Realms is built on complex character arcs that evolve with every twist and turn. Readers will find themselves immersed in a world of simmering tension, forbidden alliances, and moments that will leave them breathless, wondering who will come out victorious when the final battle looms on the horizon.
The world-building is as intricate as the characters themselves, weaving together mythology, magic, and a deep history that feels as alive as the very lands the characters walk. Each realm feels tangible—rich with its own culture, landscapes, and conflicts that impact every choice made. The magic isn’t just an element of fantasy; it’s a force that runs through the veins of the realms, influencing everything from politics to personal relationships.
With every page, the Legacy of the Nine Realms delivers the kind of high fantasy that draws readers in with its tension and keeps them hooked with its raw emotional depth. For those who crave complex, world-building and characters who are as dangerous as they are captivating, this series doesn’t just deliver—it consumes.
