Eliana, a 16-year-old girl from New York, lives an ordinary life-until a strange feeling begins to haunt her-a sense of belonging to something ancient and forgotten. As her dreams become more vivid and shadows stretch around her, she finds herself at the heart of a great secret buried for centuries.
Together with her close friends-Sidney, Alex, Claire, and Danny-she discovers they are no ordinary teenagers. Each of them carries the blood of legendary figures: King Arthur and his knights. As the questions multiply, they become entangled in an ancient struggle between forces of light and darkness-one that is reawakening through a new generation of heirs.
Enemies from the past return to reclaim their place, led by a powerful sorceress determined to plunge the world into darkness once again. The five must uncover their hidden powers, understand the roots of their legacy, and choose between the lives they've known-and the destiny written for them before they were even born.
Blood of the King is a gripping fantasy novel for teens, blending Arthurian mythology with the modern world. It's a story of identity, friendship, leadership, and loyalty-in a world where the line between good and evil is often far from clear.

When he uses the deal for his own advantage, he threatens a girl named Zara, who has had everything but her family taken away. Zara is ordered to kill the beast Regol made a deal with, unbenownst to her that the deal even exists. When her attempt fails, she is left with two choices: to never go back home, or to learn from the beast so she can take back what is hers. She faces dangers on the castle grounds she thought were only stories; magic, creatures that kill a person in a single puff of air, and lastly, the beast, who can barely control the darkness that has buried itself in him for years.

With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood.
