STAY AWAY FROM THE COURT JESTER. ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE A GOOD LITTLE PRINCESS.

The Court Jester marks his targets with a ribbon. That’s how I find out I’m next.

The moment that band of scarlet fabric appears on my pillow, I know it’s a promise—a bad omen delivered by someone wicked.

He’s powerful. He’s sinful.

They whisper about him in the castle’s shadowed halls. Everyone fears his devilish tongue, yet everyone desires his heated touch.

With each seductive temptation, I fall under the jester’s spell. With every forbidden moment, he ignites a fire that I’ve never known before.

But the jester is guarding a treasonous secret. And becoming his obsession is dangerous.

As a good little princess, I should know. Because if I don’t risk my ruin, I’ll surely sacrifice my heart.

WARNING: This is the first book in a scorching hot romantasy series with explicit sexual content and language. For readers 18+ who want spicy fantasy romance, enemies to lovers, razor-sharp banter, epic forbidden love in a unique world of court intrigue, and a morally grey book boyfriend.

Perfect for fans of settings like Phantasma and Caraval (with spice), and the lyrical writing of Sarah A. Parker, Carissa Broadbent, and Olivia Wildenstein.
