About this audiobook
A crown that refuses him.
A war that wants him dead.
A love that may be the only thing strong enough to save them both.
Prince Vaelen was born to inherit a kingdom
For twenty-two years, Prince Vaelen has lived beneath the shadow of a prophecy whispered across the Beast Kingdoms. As the only child born of the feared Horned King and the queen who broke an ancient curse, he is expected to become the greatest ruler the kingdoms have ever known.
But destiny has never come without a price.
When an ancient prison begins to fail, a forgotten power older than the Beast Kingdoms reaches for Vaelen, claiming he was never meant to inherit the crown...
He was meant to surrender it.
Far from the safety of the palace, Aurea has spent her life protecting secrets that history buried long ago. She knows the truth behind the first Beast Kings, the lost civilization that vanished beneath the mountains, and the terrifying force now awakening from the darkness.
She also knows that saving the kingdoms may require sacrificing the man she has come to love.
As rival monarchs prepare for war, forgotten cities rise from the earth, and ancient magic reshapes the world, Vaelen and Aurea must choose between destiny and desire, duty and love, power and mercy.
Because some crowns are inherited.
Others must be earned.
Filled with unforgettable Monster Kings, ancient prophecies, hidden kingdoms, forbidden love, powerful magic, royal intrigue, breathtaking adventure, and a slow-burning romance that will steal your heart, The Horned King's Heir is an epic dark fantasy monster romance where love is stronger than fate, and the greatest legacy is the one you choose for yourself.
