“All I desire is a husband who can sit pretty on the throne beside me and keep his mouth shut while I rule. You don’t fit the criteria, Killian. I am not looking for a warrior.” “When the men at court point their swords at your neck princess, you’ll need a warrior by your side instead of a puppet. You won’t be able to get rid of me so easily Amelia. Not when I have made up my mind to have you.” “I am not something for you to simply have Killian.” “Aren’t you? The men out there seem to be putting a good price on your future. Become my wife and I will become your weapon. I will make sure this throne belongs to you.” … Fancy tiaras and dresses never interested Amelia Blackwell, current princess of the Backwell castle. It had always been the throne in the middle of the court that caught her eyes. The throne was the only thing she ever desired but the men in her life reminded her of how it would never belong to a princess. When talks of her marriage flood the castle and news that her father wishes to make her cousin Fraser Adams his heir, Amelia takes matters into her own hands. She sets off to find her own husband and plots to take the throne. Meeting the king of the north Killian Bune doesn’t make her life any easier. Along her way she finds love, betrayal, death, envy, and more as she tries to become queen. “I promise you, this throne will belong to me.” ... The cover was done by IG r.voh.k
"I know I should but I do not like this. You are making me take back a lot of the things I said about arranged marriages and marriage itself. You are too kind," said Amelia.
"Do you want me to be mean?"
Amelia shook her head, "No. I just meant it feels like it is surreal that you are being so kind. You are the feared king of the north, the war demon and you actually are a demon. It is strange how you are so calm when it comes to me. My mind can't help thinking I should prepare myself for something bad. Or maybe I just want something bad to happen so that this all feels normal. Do you know what I mean?"
"I think I do. I should anger you a few times so that my being nice isn't odd. Go it," Killian made a note of this.
