Claimed by the Dark Court: A Fae Queen and Consort Romance

She became the heart of the realm. He became the shield at her side. But some bonds can save a kingdom and still destroy the lovers who bear them. Amara Kensington won the crown. She thought that would mean freedom. Instead, the throne of the White Queen has become a living cage, binding her body to every wound in the Court of Briar and Bone. Every scorched root burns in her blood. Every blighted leaf scrapes against her soul. The forest answers to her, the palace bows to her, and the realm survives because her heart keeps beating. But power has teeth. Caerwyn Dravenel gave up his crown to become her Consort, her Guard, and her devoted shield. Once the feared Shadow Lord, he now kneels at Amara's side with a loyalty more dangerous than any throne. Through their bond, he can draw her pain into his own body and give her a moment of peace. Every time he does, he fades a little more. As loyalists of the old law strike at the forest and sabotage the ancient seals, the Deepwood Gate begins to fracture. Beyond it waits the Nameless Hunger, a force older than the court, older than the crown, and hungry for the Heart of the Briar beating inside Amara's blood. To save the realm, Amara and Caerwyn must uncover the true purpose of the Heart, the forgotten duty of the Dravenel line, and the deadly cost of the bond that ties them together. But the greatest threat may not be the darkness beneath the roots. It may be the secrets they keep to protect each other. Amara refuses to be a vessel. Caerwyn refuses to let her suffer alone. But if they keep mistaking sacrifice for love, the bond that made them unstoppable may become the thing that breaks them. The gate is opening. The forest is bleeding. And the only way to survive is to stop dying for each other and learn how to stand together. Claimed by the Dark Court is Book 2 in The Briar Throne, a dark fae court romantasy series featuring a powerful queen, a possessive consort, magical bond tension, court intrigue, ancient gate magic, rogue loyalists, open-door heat, and a love fierce enough to challenge the old laws of a dying realm.
