Fantasy Romance / RomantasyThe King Who Fell From Heaven
When a naked stranger falls from the sky, Idra Vell plans to sell him before anyone discovers what he is. Then he tells her his name. Oriel—the vanished King of Heaven. He knows the secrets of the world above, but almost nothing about surviving below. Idra knows exactly how cruel heaven can be: it took her sister and never gave her back. Their bargain should be simple. Idra will return the fallen king to the Stair. In exchange, Oriel will bring her sister home. But the closer they get to heaven, the uglier its miracles become. Every blessing has a price. Every year of immortality belonged to someone first. And the kingdom Oriel once ruled may have survived for centuries by consuming the lives of the people who worshipped it. Now heaven wants its king back. Idra wants her sister. And Oriel must decide whether to reclaim the throne he lost—or help the woman he loves bring heaven down.

Seren Aldworth never expected to become queen—especially not to a king whose love leaves people frozen in its wake. King Aurek Mourne has spent twelve years denying himself affection because every genuine feeling feeds the creature trapped inside him, and someone else always pays the price. But Seren was raised to bring warmth wherever she goes, and the more she refuses to fear him, the harder it becomes for Aurek to stay empty. Their marriage begins as duty. Then comes trust. Touch. A kiss. Love. And with every step closer, another road, village, or life turns white. When Seren discovers that the “curse” destroying Aurek was never truly a curse at all, she must decide whether freeing the man she loves is worth unleashing the thing his coldness has been keeping trapped. Because sometimes love is not the cure. Sometimes it is the most dangerous thing in the kingdom.
