Amos
Amos has spent his life under a brutal king who believes mercy is weakness and women are expendable. Beaten into submission and groomed to rule a tyrannical kingdom, the fae prince has only ever held onto one truth: one day, he will kill his father.
Priorities shift when a deathbed confession reveals that Amos has a twin sister hidden away in the Human Kingdom. Fate doesn’t wait for him to adjust to his new reality, and when Amos’ mate bond with Clover snaps into place, he has another person to protect. Realizing he can shield both his sister and mate by hiding Clover in the Human Kingdom, he convinces her to leave the fae lands under the false pretense of protecting his sister.
Amos’ lies continue to grow as he claims a false mate to appease his father and works with a rebel faction to eradicate the evil in their kingdom. But secrets never stay buried, and one surprise visit by his father unravels everything he’s worked hard to protect.
As Amos grows into something darker, more ruthless, and far more dangerous than the boy he once was, he’s forced to face the cost of the choices he made to protect the one person he loves the most.

Clover
After watching the horrific murder of her mother, Clover retreats into the safety of silence, knowing the Desert Kingdom is a place where women are owned, brutalized, and discarded. Raised in a small village, training alongside dragons and a rebel army, she is determined to make a place for herself and help bring down the monster ruling over them all.
When the Desert Prince appears, claiming they’re mates, she fears for the future she’s been working toward until Amos reveals shocking truths and asks her to protect a hidden princess in the Human Kingdom. Clover agrees, honored to be chosen and trusted with something so important, even if it means she can only know her mate through letters.

For years, their relationship builds through paper and ink, creating a bond that transcends fate. On the day Clover returns to the Desert Kingdom to take her place at his side, she watches as Amos claims another mate before the entire kingdom, humiliating and shattering her in the process.
Devastated and heartbroken, no explanation will repair what he’s broken, and she leaves the prince behind, cutting him out of her life. But years later, the boy who broke her is gone. In his place stands a ruthless king with blood on his hands and an obsession to get her back by any means possible.

Please note: Brutally Yours is darker than the other books in this world and has equal parts fantasy and romance plot.
