King of Flesh and Bone

The Pale Court Duet, Book 1

De: Liv Zander

Narrado por: Auri Alden, Gregory Salinas

Isolation, darkness, and rotting flesh,

Surround me, suffocate me,

But I am the vile ruler who controls it all.

I long for warmth,

Yet, all that I touch,

Is cold.

Then, she stumbles in to my domain,

Lost and frightened,

Alone and confused.

And I terrify her even more.

She calls me the devil,

So I show her pleasure,

Like only the devil can.

I am the heat that stirs her flesh,

The longing that trembles her bone.

She begs her body to refuse,

To escape my embrace,

But I am her master,

The puppeteer of passion.

I am the King of Flesh and Bone.

Welcome to my court, little one.

King of Flesh and Bone is a full-length dark fantasy novel, the first book in The Pale Court duet. The two-part story features a ruthless man, the woman who can't escape his love, and a happily ever after. This world contains dark themes, violence, loss, and elements of horror some may find disturbing. What this book doesn't contain is a hero—because villains do it better.

Go in Blind!!!

... I say go in blind on this one. DO NOT LISTEN OR READ any reviews because... they absolutely do this book injustice. ahh! for a dark, super spicy, fantasy romance... this one has a very unique plot that just sings to my soul!

on to the next book!

don't hesitate

I was worried bc people brought up warnings for triggers of SA but I'm so so glad I finished bc this was such a great book!

Hottt!

Y'all this audiobook is 🔥🔥🔥‼️ The writing is phenomenal, and the voice acting does not disappoint. If you're into captive erotica, buy this now!

Good read but not for the faint of heart!

Great story. Excellent writer. To make anyone feel for this character is proof of another level of skill as a writer. Bravo. Great book. Roller coaster of emotions. And I am getting part two immediately.

So close to 5⭐️

I say 4.5. If the narrators had been better, it would have been a 5 across the board.

It’s very niche

I think for it’s going for, it’s an okay story. Very spicy, which is what I was looking for. I’m not into the spicy rape thing so it’s not for me. It’s a good story if that’s your thing.

Loved the story, hated the ending

I think you have to be a little bit depraved to love this story as much as I do, but if you are, you will too. I love fantasy books and this is my first romance and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I loved Enosh when he was being sweet, Ada could be a little frustrating and ungrateful sometimes. I wish there was more demonstration of the chemistry between them prior to the ending, and speaking of which, I really disliked the ending. I know there is a second book so maybe it will be resolved, but I just hated it and wished the author had gone a different route. Like others, I wished there were some more male chapters. Overall I really enjoyed most of it and would recommend it.

Rape before Romance

I'll give the author 5 stars for the story as written.

However, I'll give 2 stars for the fact that I am not a fan of an abusive rape to romance novel. There are enemies to lovers books, and then there's this.

I wish I had seen if there was a Sexual Assult warning before reading. It was painful to get through the story, but some reviews I've read said it's still worth it. I'm still not sure it was, and I don't know yet if I'll continue with the second book.

If this is your kind of romance, however, you've come to the right place.

Other notes: I wish there was more of the male point of view in the story.

reading slump OVER

I am in love with both books. I have been in a rutt lately and this snapped me out. even the light parts were dark and the reflection all characters had to do internally shows they are not what they are projecting. well maybe still 😉. the FMC thinking she is just the MMC thinking he is lost .. ugh and the spice.. the spice....
if you do not like dark fantasies, a bit of morbidity graphic detail do not read.
I cannot wait for more from this author. I have a new fav to add and hope she continues and releases soon. the writing flowed well the characters have good background and substance. just damn. I have bought the paper hard copies which I never do but these can't be lost to the "finished" Playlist tomb

Very Interesting

I can't wait to start book too. This story is very intriguing and the characters are interesting. I have to know how this ends.
