Synopsis

The ruling alchemists of the Midwest, the Kings of Darkhaven, have nothing to fear from anyone or anything. Until their mothers give them an ultimatum of marrying or abdicating their thrones.

The moment King Ronan’s mother decrees he must marry or abandon his throne, he knows exactly who will be his bride. The woman he’s been obsessed with since they met as children. The utterly brilliant and beautiful Reina . . . who despises his very existence. Minor issue, though. The bigger problem will be that she’s an elemental, and no alchemist will quietly accept a non-alchemist as their queen. But he’s not a King of Darkhaven for show. Power, intimidation, and, of course, proving to everyone that Reina is the superior choice is all that’s needed.

Elementals are little better than servants to their alchemist overlords, and all King Ronan has done to Reina since the day they met is torment her. So why is he suddenly insisting she marry him? She may have pledged to both herself and to the Elemental Council of Darkhaven to do everything in her power to better the lives of elementals, but marrying one of the Kings of Darkhaven is asking a bit much to accomplish that goal. Especially if that king is Ronan.

Unfortunately, ‘no’ isn’t a word King Ronan is very familiar with—at least, not if he’s not the one saying it—and he’s determined to have all of Reina, heart, soul, and body. And the more time she spends with him, the more difficult it is to remember why she hates all alchemists. Too bad powerful factions among both the alchemists and elementals would rather see the pair dead than ruling together.
