About this book

Gabriel "Gabe" never asked to wear the crown of the Demon Territory, but he now finds himself sitting on a throne built upon treachery and crumbling alliances. As he struggles to stabilize a realm teetering on the edge of collapse, his focus is shattered by an impossible, illicit attraction. He is drawn to a mysterious woman who exists in the shadows—a human with no name and no past, tethered to the very rival faction plotting his downfall.

Their connection is electric, yet inherently dangerous. Every stolen moment further complicates Gabe’s precarious position, forcing him to choose between the survival of his people and the woman who consumes his every thought. As he races to secure the keys necessary to save their world, the line between ally and enemy blurs.

Is she truly the woman he believes her to be, or is she a calculated weapon designed to bring about his ruin? In a landscape where trust is a fatal luxury, Gabe must decide if their bond is worth the ultimate price. As dark secrets emerge, the cost of possession may be his crown, his life, or the very soul of the territory he is sworn to protect.

LOVED IT

"I love being back in this world! Already liked the new Demon in charge from meeting him in the previous story lines. Now it's his turn to find the key. He enlists the help of the Briar Queen as she is the on who sees everything, knows everyone, and can get information on all the Doves in the realm. What I didn’t expect was a copycat serial killer running wild through the middle of the story. An absolute must read, it's the perfect continuation in an epic world. ["

Welcome to the Demon Territory!

"Gabe, the newly crowned demon king, is searching for the human key living in his kingdom, one who can help him and the other Alpha Territories leaders save the world from a dark goddess bent on vengeance and destruction. He demands that Mari, known as the Briar Queen, head the search. When Mari defies Gabe’s orders to meet with him one night, he demands her true name, a name she's kept secret, even from her closest friends, because in the demon territory, names have power. Now in possession of Mari's true name, how will Gabe use it, and will he discover the other names and faces she goes by? Is it safe for Mari to proceed with her plan to escape the territories, or will she be stuck there for the foreseeable future? 𝑯𝒆 𝒎𝒂𝒚 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒂𝒌𝒆𝒏 𝒎𝒚 𝒏𝒂𝒎𝒆, 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝑰 𝒘𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅𝒏’𝒕 𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒐𝒘 𝒉𝒊𝒎 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒂𝒍 𝒎𝒚 𝒇𝒖𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆. Gabe and Mari's sparring and their delicious tension kept me glued to the page. I love how intrigued Gabe is with her from the start, and Mari's refusal to back down from anything he throws her way. Also, Myrr, our crazy, old Oracle, whom I simply adore, is back. As always, she's eating her way through the kingdom, while spouting hilarious nonsense mixed with wisdom, truth, and prophecy. This book is part of a series of interconnected trilogies, but you do not have to read the previous ones. FBF is the start to the latest trilogy, making it a good entry point for those who want to jump right in. However, if you decide to start with Taken by Fate, you will get a more immersive understanding of the Alpha Territories world and the overarching plot connecting them. ["

Must read

"I've loved Gabe from the start, so getting him his own story with an epic HEA absolutely made my day. This one picks up with Gabe stepping into his own seat of power while hunting for the key, and the woman he meets along the way is no pushover. She has her own story, her own strength, and she isn't about to make things easy for him. Will they find their way to each other sooner rather than later? Here's hoping. ["

Demon Territories

"While we jump back into the Alpha Territories, technically you don't have to have read the others to understand this one. However, it does help. We jump into the Demon territory where a new king has been crowned. The search continues for the keys with cooperation between territories higher than ever. Can they find the key and survive the upcoming storm? Great read, while this doesn't end just yet, I still highly recommend you go and read it. ["
