He was made to kill. She was made for someone else.
They found him in Harrow Woods—nameless, mute, more animal than child. A fae King gave him a name. A human spymaster gave him a purpose. No one asked him what he wanted to become.
Recalled to the human capital after five years of bloodshed on the border, Harrow is crown's sharpest knife—shaped since childhood into the kind of man who solves problems that can't be solved cleanly.
But alliances are growing tenuous and the throne is held together with secrets and blackmail. Harrow's closest friend is now the sole heir to a waning dynasty and the cost of keeping the knives from his back is growing steeper.
And, somewhere in the secretive fae courts to the west, the princess Harrow has loved since boyhood is living under a curse that kills every man who tries to claim her hand.
For her entire life, Morrigan has been told she is destined for a fated mate—the mysterious, long-awaited High King who will unite all four fae courts. She dreads the future. To her, nothing could be more violating than having who she will love decided for her.
Harrow knows he is not the one the prophecy promises—he's always known. But that doesn't stop him from loving her anyway.
Told across two timelines—the feral boy learning to be a person, and the man reckoning with what that cost him—this is a story about whether you can truly love someone when fate has already decided the end of the story...And whether a weapon, once made, can ever choose differently.
THE RAVEN QUEEN is the first book in THE NIGHTBORN PROPHECIES, an adult dark fantasy romance series. This novel is told entirely from his POV and features childhood friends to lovers, fated mates as a curse, a morally grey mentor, and a hero who will tear down every political alliance and risk war for the woman he was never supposed to want.
