From New York Times bestselling authors Kristin Cast and Gina L. Maxwell, King is an enchanting, steamy romantasy novella in the tarot-inspired Towerfall universe. A night of wine and witchcraft turns into a waking nightmare when Elara is torn from her world and thrown into the fantastical kingdom of Towerfall—where magick is power, and she's the prize. Auctioned to the highest bidder, she's bought and rescued by Ronan, the King of Swords—a broody warrior seeking vengeance against the person who destroyed his life. He doesn't believe in fate. He doesn't believe in love. But Elara isn't just another pawn he can use in his games—she's sharp and cutting, beauty and banter at every turn. She makes him a deal: her help with his revenge in exchange for a way home. But as Ronan trains her, the line between their agreement and their desire blurs. He never meant to crave her. She never meant to fall in love. But in a world not her own and a situation growing more precarious by the day, falling for the King of Swords might be the most dangerous gamble of all. \This novella was formerly published as Bound by Shadows\
