Synopsis "Songs of the Hunted"
Once upon a time, a king hunted a queen ... It is year 749 of the House of Bloodhurst reign on Atlas, and King Misael Bloodhurst's thirst for sea women is a well-known threat across the realm, but Anthia, queen of her seas, is sure that she's clever and protected enough to stay out of his grasp and eye. Not likely and capturing the mermaid queen changed everything. For them all. Many years later, a new princess of the Blu throne, a someday queen, is coming of age, as are some of her sisters. Sheltered until adulthood, their most dangerous years are upon them and the choices they are about to make will change the rules of everything. Having never walked the lands of Atlas before, those days will soon change, and neither path will be easy. When a prince of the land hunts the next princess of the seas, nothing will ever be the same again. These are the songs of the hunted. Hear them. Heed them. War is coming. * Songs of the Hunted is book 1 in the Realms of Glass and Blood series from the 9ine Realms by author Bethany-Kris writing as K. Fournier. Realms of fantasy where life lives above and below colored seas - where fire breathers rule the mountains of tar and skies that cry - and everything, sometimes even love, is a lie.
