The Wraith King

In a world torn by war between light and dark fae, Princess Una Hartstone of Issos faces an impossible choice: surrender her life to the ruthless Wraith King, Gollaya Verbane, or watch her people perish. The brutal conflict has already cost countless innocent lives, and Una’s sacrifice seems the only path to peace. But when she arrives at the Palace of Black Glass, she discovers her destiny is far more tangled than she imagined.

Gollaya, driven by a divine prophecy, believes Una is the key to his rise as ruler of the dark fae. Yet as their fiery enemies-to-lovers dynamic unfolds, he realizes she is more than a pawn—she’s his match in power and passion. The palace of Näkt Mir, once her childhood prison, hides deadly secrets and a traitor plotting to overthrow Goll’s throne.

Una’s mysterious past resurfaces, awakening dormant magic that could shift the balance of power. As alliances fracture and betrayals loom, Goll must confront whether his loyalty lies with his god’s prophecy or the woman who challenges everything he knows.

The story weaves political intrigue, ancient prophecies, and a slow-burn romance that blazes into an unforgettable bond. With themes of sacrifice, redemption, and the cost of power, The Wraith King delivers a richly layered tale where love and duty collide in the shadows of a war-torn realm.

Fans of dark fae lore and morally complex heroes will find themselves captivated by Juliette Cross’s vivid world-building and the magnetic tension between Una and Goll. The stage is set for a saga where even the smallest spark can ignite a revolution—or destroy a kingdom.
