Books like The Ever King

LJ Andrews writes a king who takes what he wants. The Ever King keeps her prisoner, makes her hate him and forbids them both, so nothing about this courtship is allowed. Grim to the core, graphic at the right moments. Crowns, cages and stolen freedom. Romantasy readers who want the hero to be truly frightening should start here and read the warnings.
