The Shadow of a Vicious KingA Dark Fae Romantasy
Villains have more fun. Even the broken ones.
I’m a ghost.
A shadow stuck on this earth, cursed to rot.
No escape. No mercy. Just a gilded cage I call home.
Until she moves in. Little Fox.
Hair red as flame against the pillow she clutches at night.
Skin pale as the moonlight spilling through her window.
Lips red as blood, parted in sleep.
I want to touch her, crawl into her bed, and drink her tears.
Bad men want her dead, and I’ll kill anyone who tries to hurt her.
I'll save her. Or ruin her.
I only break the ones I love.
But I crave her beyond reason.
This book features a new couple, so it can be read first, but I highly recommend reading the other books in the series beforehand. Ends in a cliffhanger.

Anya J Cosgrove
Anya J. Cosgrove’s worlds are steeped in mystery, magic, and the undeniable pull of forbidden love. With a passion for storytelling as vibrant as the characters she creates, Anya transports readers into realms where supernatural creatures roam, and romance is as dangerous as it is irresistible.
Born and raised in Québec, Anya's early life was a blend of science and storytelling. By day, she’s a veterinarian, working to heal the creatures of this world, while by night, she crafts tales about the fantastical creatures that inhabit the worlds of her imagination. This duality of life—both grounded in the reality of caring for animals and fueled by the fantastical—shapes the authenticity and depth of her stories.
