ABOUT THE BOOK

Fae Heir
Lucia Ashta
(Royals of Embermere, #1)
Publication date: April 19th 2023
Genres: Adult, Fantasy, Romance

Win the trials, earn a crown—or fail and lose everything.

The heir of Embermere has unexpectedly died, and now a new prince and princess must be crowned.

I’ve been hiding out with the dragons, but then mysterious fae show up at the dragons’ stronghold and abduct me at the King’s command.

The royals of Embermere are hosting the Fae Heir Trials to find their successors. The winners will marry and become the next to rule the fae lands. Turns out I’m the King’s illegitimate daughter and the wicked queen intends to kill me off during the challenges.

I find myself thrust into a barbaric tournament where death is all but guaranteed. I’m competing against the most gorgeous, deadly fae warriors of the realm. Determined, agile men who’ve been training to claim this chance all their lives—including clan leader Rush Vega.

Rush Vega is the Crown’s favorite, devastatingly charming and dangerously tempting. His combat skills and dark secrets will be my undoing. With my survival on the line, my heart must resist his pull and those intriguing moonlight eyes. He’s the queen’s spy, and that makes him my number one enemy.

My life might have become a game of savage brutality, but the Queen of Embermere underestimated me.

I was born a fighter. And I intend to win.

Note: Fae Heir begins the Royals of Embermere series, which is romantic fantasy intended for a mature audience. Each individual book ends on a cliffhanger, but the series concludes with an uplifting and satisfying ending.

EXCERPT:

“If you say so.” He stood with his slim, booted feet hip-width apart, his arms crossed over a

muscular chest. His biceps strained against his shirt enough to mark their developed curve.

“I do say so,” I snapped. His brow arched. I scowled. “I was admiring your weapons belt

since it’s actually filled with weapons.” A set of slim, small throwing knives were tucked

behind the daggers and sword. I spun and pointed to my lower back. “See? My holster is

woefully empty.” I offered a hopeful smile. “You think you could fix that for me? They took

everything I had on me. My blades weren’t theirs to take.” His brows lowered as he scanned

the length of me, this time interest illuminating his eyes. “I can appreciate the gravity of the

loss of one’s weapons , but I assure you, you won’t need them here.”

“And you should be more aware if you wish to survive the tournament ... intact.”I scraped

the tip of the sword I’d pointed at him across his junk, which bunched beneath a layer of

tunic and breeches. And though my touch was soft as a feather, he jumped back as if I’d

punched him, dropping his own sword to his side. “What the fuck?”he snarled, his eyes

flaring. I batted my lashes at him, a picture of innocence as pure as freshly fallen snow.

“Enlighten me, teacher. I thought that in a match of life or death I should press every

advantage at my disposal.” “This isn’t a lethal fight.”With his shoulders tight with anger, he

appeared even more dangerous than usual. I pushed off from the railing. “But that’s what

we’re here preparing for. No one, not even you, thinks I’ll get out of the Gladius stage alive.”

He glared at me. “See? You don’t even deny it.” “Still. There are some things you just don’t

do.” I laughed. “Why not? Is your cock a sacred, bejeweled wand?” He stomped toward me.

“Damn right it is. And you’d better fucking remember that from here on out.” I craned my

neck back to look up at him. “Does it wear a crown upon its precious head?”I hadn’t meant

to taunt him, but it seemed I couldn’t help myself.
