    ABOUT THE BOOK

    The forbidden royal romance of Red, White & Royal Blue meets the dragon-riding adventure of Fourth Wing, in The Drakon King by Terry J. Benton-Walker.
    Two princes, born to rival kingdoms.

    Heir to a kingdom built on lies, Prince Reverie has one goal: avoid the crown. So when Reverie sees an opportunity to escape a life of pain and cruelty, he takes it and runs.

    Heir to a kingdom banished into the sky, Prince Xandreth has one goal: find out why his people are going missing, abandoning his kingdom to find the truth, no matter the cost.

    A meeting that was never meant to be.

    On the run, pursued by both kingdoms and wild creatures, the princes meet. Xandreth can't trust a party boy to help find the answers he seeks and Reverie has been taught to hate and fear Xandreth’s people since he was born, but the only way forward is for Reverie to break his vow to never return home. And for both of them to trust the other with their lives.

    A love that could change the world.

    But as truths come to light, a myth as old as the world comes to light, as well. A bird on fire and a world turning to ash.

    Reverie and Xandreth are suddenly at the heart of a crisis—and a love—neither can afford to ignore.

    Together they must claim the power they left behind and change their world.

    Or watch it burn.

    $13.99
    The sequel to Terry J Benton-Walker's smash hit debut, Blood Debts, continues the story of powerful magical families, intergenerational curses, and deadly drama in New Orleans.

    Cristina and Clement Trudeau have conjured the impossible: justice.

    They took back their family’s stolen throne to lead New Orleans’ magical community into the brighter future they all deserve.

    But when Cris and Clem restored their family power, Valentina Savant lost everything. Her beloved grandparents are gone and her sovereignty has been revoked—she will never be Queen. Unless, of course, someone dethrones the Trudeaus again. And lucky for her, she’s not the only one trying to take them down.

    Cris and Clem have enemies coming at them from all directions: Hateful anti-magic protesters sabotage their reign at every turn. A ruthless detective with a personal vendetta against magical crime is hot on their tail just as Cris has discovered her thirst for revenge. And a brutal god, hunting from the shadows, is summoned by the very power Clem needs to protect the boy he loves.

    Cris’s hunger for vengeance and Clem’s desire for love could prove to be their family’s downfall, all while new murders, shocking disappearances, and impossible alliances are changing the game forever.

    Welcome back to New Orleans, where gods walk among us and justice isn’t served, it’s taken.

    $28.99

    Queer, Black, and sexy as hell, The Drakon King is romantasy at its best: A forbidden love story between princes in the court of a cruel king and an edge-of-your-seat tale of missing dragons, ruthless betrayals, and stolen hearts.

    Two princes, born to a world at war.

    Heir to a kingdom built on lies and stolen magic, Prince Reverie has one goal: avoid the crown. Raised by a cruel and violent king, Reverie’s real life begins after curfew―bottle service, masked revelries, top-shelf highs, and anonymous rooftop liaisons. But when his king plots to seize dwindling majikal resources from the Drakon King, Reverie hits his limit―he casts aside his royal obligations and gets the hell outta town. Better a free fugitive than a tortured captive.

    Heir to a kingdom banished into the sky, Prince Xandreth has one goal: find a missing friend. His brother, the Drakon King, stubbornly refuses to acknowledge that their people keep going missing, so Xandreth takes it upon himself to hunt down answers.

    A meeting that will change them both.

    Having abandoned their kingdoms, both princes end up stranded in the dangerous and bewitching Wraithwood, and out of desperation, agree to help each other and then go their separate ways.

    A love that will save their world.

    But when a myth as old as the world―a bird on fire in the belly of a massive volcano―is whispered from Human lips to Drakon ears, Reverie and Xandreth are suddenly at the heart of a crisis so much bigger than a missing friend or even freedom.

    If they can’t come together, the world itself may go up in flames.

    Perfect for fans of Crescent City, When the Moon Hatched, The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, Fourth Wing, and the world of Blade Runner.

    The hardcover edition includes a gorgeous two-page world map.
