The Wolf King by Lauren Palphreyman (Paperback)

The wildly addictive Sunday Times bestselling romantasy sensation, and the first book in the Wolf King trilogy. Forbidden romance, werewolves and kilts — the sizzling global bestseller the internet is obsessed with. A princess caught in a war. The enemy she was raised to fear.

Princess Aurora longs to escape her castle, and the marriage that’s been arranged for her. On the night before her wedding, at a dog fight where captured werewolves are forced to fight for sport, she spares the life of a young wolf — a single act of mercy that puts her squarely on the radar of the powerful alpha who had intended to kill him. And it changes everything.

That same night, when the alpha, Callum, escapes, he kidnaps Aurora and carries her north of the border, to the rugged lands where the once-warring werewolf clans are beginning to unite. He’s convinced she’s the key to winning the war against the humans. But the more time the two spend in one another’s company, the more a forbidden attraction begins to grow — and as Aurora learns that not all wolves are monsters, Callum discovers that she’s in danger from both his enemies and those he once called friends. With monsters on both sides and a bloodthirsty war raging, the two must decide what’s worth fighting for, even if it costs them everything.

This is a romantasy for mature readers; please check any content warnings before reading.

Perfect for readers who love forbidden werewolf romance, an enemies-to-lovers captor-and-captive premise, a powerful alpha hero and a princess who defies the war she was born into.
