🔮 Mating Bond Revelations

A chambermaid bound to her family’s prestigious palace legacy. A King harboring a secret bound to shatter his world.

Leader Reneah Diaz, the unparalleled head of the palace chambermaids and valets, was a figure of admiration and respect. Her family’s legacy amongst the staff was not just coveted, but revered. But when the grieving Fae King returns to Atlantis with the Heir in tow, the human chambermaid breaks all the rules and forms an unexpected and unique friendship with father and daughter. This friendship, unlike any other, born in the most unlikely of circumstances, opens up a world of secrets and revelations about his mating bond with the deceased Queen Neleah, secrets that not a soul alive knows of.

A hidden shame plagues the Fae King, a secret so rare that it could shatter the perceptions Neleah and Cathan carefully built. But when undeniable chemistry flourishes with his human chambermaid, he feels something he never dared to dream of—something worth risking his reputation and his daughter’s.

In a world where palace politics expressly forbids relations between the royal family and the palace staff, and where relations between humans and Fae are incredibly taboo, Cathan’s unusual request for Reneah to take residence in the royal wing does not go unnoticed by her superior or her subordinates. And when their affections become something more, Reneah and Cathan must face a heart-wrenching decision: distance themselves or risk destroying her family’s legacy and his reputation forever.

The Forbidden King is an Heir of Atlantis Novella (Book 1.5). It should be read after reading The Veiled Heir (Book 1). This is a spicy romantasy, a blend of romance and fantasy with mature themes, intended for readers aged 18+. Trigger and content warnings can be found at the beginning of the book and on STFernandez.com. Please read with care.
