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. Bend the knee.
Fight me all you want, but soon enough, you'll be chanting long live the king.
Astrid
One day I'm Royal Elite School's small fly, the next I'm hunted and left to die.
He doesn't only shred my life to parts, but he's also coming after my heart.
He thinks he broke me, but the new princess will bring the king to his knees.
Cruel King is a complete standalone prequel in the Royal Elite world. No book should be read before this.
