Publisher Description
All work and no wicked play makes Tiernan a very unsatisfied king…
Of all the Verran brothers, Tiernan is the least suited to wear the Night Court crown. The Rebel Prince is happy with no responsibilities or accountability—just the freedom to pursue his own dark, lush pleasures in Sin City. Including his secret hunger for a certain smart-mouthed, fiery redhead.
Only, the possibility of having Fiona is stripped away when Tiernan is thrust into the one role he never wanted: king. As king of the Dark Fae, wanting—let alone pursuing—anything with a lower-caste fae like Fiona would shift from fun…to forbidden.
Now war is emerging from the shadows of Vegas, and Tiernan is caught between who he’s meant to be and who he wants. And somewhere in this maelstrom of lust, love, and rebellion is the key to the Dark Fae’s survival…even if the cost is more than he can imagine.
Each book in the Deviant Kings series is STANDALONE:
* The Dark King
* The Rebel King
* The Vicious King
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Returning to Las Vegas's fae underworld, Maxwell's red hot second Deviant Kings paranormal romance (after The Dark King) brings the sizzle. Fae Tiernan Verran, the "rebel prince," is the unlikely—and somewhat unenthusiastic—new heir to the Night Court throne after his brother Caiden abdicated his royal duties to marry Bryn, the woman he fell in love with in the first installment. Tiernan's succession may also be complicated by his love for a woman: feisty redhead Fiona Jewel, who has always been looked down on in fae society for being a "halfling," half fae and half human. Tiernan loves Fiona deeply, but with evil forces closing in on the Night Court, the royal council convinces him he needs to marry a pure-blooded fae to consolidate power. Meanwhile, Fiona learns a devastating secret about her family history and her status in the fae realm. When magical war breaks out in earnest, Tiernan comes up with a risky plan that will have life changing consequences for all. The tight plotting and snappy dialogue keep the pages turning, while the taut sexual tension makes things steamy. Readers will be left clamoring for the next entry in the series.
Customer Reviews
All Hail the Rebel King
The Rebel King is book two in Gina L. Maxwell's Deviant Kings series. A series which kicked things off with a bang--or two--with book one, The Dark King. Each book in the series, to which I'm thrilled will be a trilogy of standalone reads, features a different Verran brother as the fae ruler of Sin City also known as Las Vegas. Book one followed the eldest Verran, Caiden, and his accidental wedding to Bryn Meara. This is where we got our first taste of Tiernan as one of the supporting characters. Here in book two is where he and his story will really shine and in book three, The Vicious King, everything will come to an epic conclusion but for now, let's dive deeper into The Rebel King.
