Why read it?
1 author picked King of the Dark as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I really love a good anti-hero and Ariana Nash delivers it in this series.
The story centers around a soldier and a prince bound by dark magic. Needless to say, the soldier hates the monarchy, prince included, which instantly drives the conflict between the two. This is a slow-burn romance. The way the prince uses the soldier is reprehensible until you figure out why he does it.
Can he be redeemed? I think so.
From Elle's list on dark fantasy enemies to lovers mm romance.
