"I am no lightbringer, little flea. Nor does fauna rise in my wake. It trembles and convulses, repulsed by my wicked nature. I am darkness and depravity who brings only destruction and chaos." A banished fae king. Two powerful relics in the form of cheap, jeweled keys, and a coven that will stop at nothing to obtain their magic. What the hell is twenty-three-year-old Adeline in the middle of? She believed her foggy past held no importance and would stay buried . . . but it's unraveling before her eyes and coming back to haunt her. Shrouds of darkness stir awake and lurk out of the shadows, conjured by a devilishly handsome fae named Kaschel under circumstances she wishes she could scorch from her memories. Yeah, it's witching hour for poor, broke Adeline, and she isn't sure who or what is real anymore. Not the crazy witch lady who kicks down her door. Not the petty, shadow-flinging fae king who threatens her life and dares to strike a deal. It's definitely not the weird little creatures she keeps running into. Ah, maybe it's the murder of crows gathering around her like harbingers of death and making her life a living nightmare. To add fuel to the fire, she's unwillingly thrust into an ancient feud between the supernatural. One her mother created and now, Adeline will have to weasel her way out of it or end it once and for all. King of the Unsightly is the first book in the Tempting Trickery series. A fantasy romance full of snark, treachery, witty banter, a mysterious past, and an enemies-to-lovers sizzling, slow-burn.
