A disgraced warrior. A hidden mate. A destiny written in the skies.

🔥 Perfect for fans of steamy paranormal romance, fierce warrior heroes, and fated mates!

What happens when an exiled falcon king discovers that the fated mate he spent years grieving is alive in the human realm? He stops being an exile and starts being a king again, and nothing, not his treacherous brother, not the enemies surrounding his stolen kingdom, and not the centuries of grief that nearly destroyed him, will stand between him and the mate destiny created for him.

Lazar was born to rule the falcons. His brother's betrayal cost him his throne, his people, and the mate he believed was dead. For years he has served in the hawk kingdom, haunted by dreams of a woman whose face he knows better than his own and whose loss he has never accepted. He has tried to fill the void left by a severed fated bond with other women, and every attempt has reminded him that nothing replaces the connection prophecy designed between two people.

When Lazar saves a stranger's life in the human realm and recognizes the impossible truth standing before him, everything changes. Sabrina is alive, the fated bond is burning through both of them, and the path forward leads directly to the falcon throne and the brother who stole it. She does not remember their past or understand the supernatural world reshaping her reality, but the bond between them does not wait for memory, and together they will face the most dangerous fight of their lives.

This is spicy bird-shifter romantasy built on a foundation of grief, exile, and the redemptive power of a love that refuses to die. Rise of the King delivers the kind of emotional stakes that make fated mates romance hit differently, the kind where the hero has lost everything and the fight to get it back is the most compelling thing on the page.
