What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
From New York Times Bestseller and BookTok sensation Rina Kent comes the first generation of the thrilling Legacy of Gods series.
He's no fairy tale king.
Levi
Here, little princess. I’m your king.
You have three rules.
Bow. Break. Kneel.
You can fight me, claw at me, but in the end, you’ll say,
long live the king.
Astrid
One day I’m nothing but a shadow at the Royal Elite school.
The next, I’m prey. Hunted. Cornered.
He tears my world apart piece by piece,
and now he wants my heart.
He thinks he owns me. He thinks he'll break me.
But this princess will drag the king to his knees.
Cruel King is a complete standalone prequel in the Royal Elite world. No book should be read before this.
