Book 1 of 3: Realm Immortal Series
Genre: romantasy, fairy tales, paranormal romance
A scintillating romantasy that will leave you wanting more. When the elfin king Merrick tricks Lady Juliana into entering his realm, he plans on seducing her and claiming her as his own. Can she resist his temptations, or will she give in to his immortal will?
Merrick, dark elfin King of Valdis, had once been heir to all that was good—happiness and pleasure his domain. Now, trapped as the ruler of mischief, king of necessary evil, he stands on a precipice of choice. On one side, his estranged brother, now ruler of what should have been Merrick's, and on the other, King Lucien of the Damned. Both would sway him. Damnation is winning.
Lady Juliana of Bellemare is from a human family, protected by the Blessed, coveted by the Damned. Betrothed to an old friend of her father's, Juliana is resigned to living out her days close to her childhood home, longing for an adventure, never dreaming she'd get what she wished for. When her fiancé is murdered, and the children of Bellemare are stolen, Juliana is sent on a quest in a strange realm where appearances are deceiving.
Merrick brings more adventure and passion than any woman could want. Can she withstand the temptations of the Unblessed King? The spell she weaves over him is more than he can resist and desperate to be the one to rule her, Merrick offers her a choice: either come with him until he tires of her...or die.
As "Book One" was a great read in the series- the other two novels are "Faery Queen" and "Stone Queen"- you will be waiting with bated breath to read the other two books in the series. Ms. Pillow has created a masterful, artful, wonderful readable book that takes you away in a magical world that is a land of characters that you would want to know. And wonder what the author will have them do next.
If you like romance, love, action, mystery- I could go on- this is a series that you will enjoy reading and re-reading. I give the book 4 1/2 Barts- because I am sure the other two novels in the series will be 5 Barts.
