Publisher Description
Even kings who serve at the whim of gods break the rules every now and then.
As the newly anointed king of the Underworld, I’ve worked hard to clean up the mess left behind by my predecessor. The realm is in relative peace at the moment, my main focus now on deciding the fate of recently departed souls. It’s a tediously boring task, and honestly, one I despise doing. But just when I think I can’t stand another moment of the monotony, one soul changes it all.
Nyssa McKnight earned her ticket to Hell. She made her choices and even at the prospect of eternal damnation, she doesn’t seem to regret the actions that led her here. I can tell by her utter defiance that life has hardened her, a trait that has carried over to her in death. She should be begging me for mercy but instead calls me a “big old winged bat”. I should toss her right into The Crimson River for her insolence but instead I think I’ll keep her in servitude.
While I struggle to reconcile the intrigue—and attraction—I have for this human, I am forced to spend my days investigating rumors of an uprising in the Underworld. Unfortunately, my desire to keep Nyssa has provided a weak spot for the rebellious Dark Fae looking to gain control, one they’re quick to act on. Now, with Nyssa in danger and my throne threatened, I will stop at nothing to restore order, even if it means letting her go.
Can Amell, the king of the Underworld, find true love, or is he destined to rule alone until the end of days?
The Midnight Realm is a standalone romantic fantasy novel about unexpected redemption within The Chronicles of the Stone Veil series.
Customer Reviews
Magical and steamy
I have to start off saying I’m not normally drawn to paranormal or fantasy stories but I can’t get enough of Sawyer Bennett’s Chronicles of the Stone Veil and The Midnight Realm is a wonderful addition to this magical series. This is King of the Underworld Amell and human Nyssa McKnight’s complicated and at times heart breaking journey. Amell knows what he wants, normally he gets it and he has his sights set on Nyssa but for this couple to have future they will need to overcome the danger thrown in their paths and Nyssa will need to see the man behind the mask. Amell is a man who cares, he was born to protect but the face he lets everyone see is evil so when Nyssa gets sent to the underworld as a sinner she will need to look much deeper into his soul….if he lets her. I was drawn in from the first page and I was sitting on the edge of my seat throughout this entertaining read. Sawyer Bennett always gives us passionate reads but this book has so many more layers and depth, it’s full of danger and intrigue, it’s steamy and intense and it has wonderful characters so I guess all I need to say is I’m excited for what’s coming next n a series I wouldn’t normall pickup. Great addition to the series.
Loved it
I’m not a huge fan of fantasy/paranormal but this series from Sawyer Bennett is out of this world one that drew me in and quickly had me invested. This is human Nyssa McKnight and King of the Underworld, Amell’s story and what a complicated story it is. Sawyer Bennett managed to tear my heart out before she put it back together again in this emotional roller coaster of a read.
From the first chapter I was on the edge of my seat, my heart in my mouth as I read The Midnight Realm with a combination of suspense, danger, intrigue and heat that ticked the boxes for me.
Amell is a man determined to get who he wants and he wants Nyssa. Their chemistry is explosive and it was entertaining to watch the push and pull dynamic of their relationship.
Can these two overcome the dangers that they face and in doing so connect and find love?
