The King's Army is descending on her little village . . .  and they are led by a demon general hell-bent on vengeance.

Lunsa is an Herbaline, a healer of a small tribe hidden deep in the mountains. As a child, she witnessed a brutal injustice, but was compelled to keep silent. Blood-cursed by the gods for her inaction, she is forced by fate to face down the one she wronged: Demian, now general of the King's Army, a man cursed into the form of a flesh-and-blood demon.

Demian has not come only to raze her village for past sins. He's fighting betrayals within his own ranks, and when his mission to forge a trade route through the monster-filled mountains goes horribly awry, destiny places his life once more in Lunsa's hands.

Kingdom of Monsters is a sweeping fantasy epic that follows a young woman from the heart of her lowly village to the throne room of the Citadel, pitting her against monsters, gladiators, and armies of all sizes. If you love spellbinding fantasy, lush settings, mechanical dragons, and interesting worlds nuanced by Native American traditions, then you'll love this epic fantasy novel by W. L. Clark.

Serpent in Shackles by peachtwist3
41 parts Complete Mature
Book 1 in a series! Despite what Emrys has been told, her Kingdom Abneer was not the only one to survive, King Reyes is not the only monarch, and monsters are real. Previously a soldier for the King, now betrothed to his son, Prince Roan, Emrys Ortega is starting to feel the burden of the title she never wanted. After repeatedly sneaking out of the palace leads to a sinister threat from the King, Emrys begins to worry for her family's safety. So when she learns that one of her kingdom's soldiers has been kidnapped by the Queen of another Kingdom, Valoria, she sees this as her opportunity to redeem herself in the King's eyes and protect her family. The only problem is that she had no idea the Kingdom of Valoria even existed. In fact, the Kingdom is unlike her own. It's filled with the same monsters from the stories she had been told-monsters of the night. In order to rescue the soldier, Emrys must team up with the notorious monster, the Shadow Knight, and his team of mercenaries. Through their missions and encounters with the monsters, Emrys not only learns the true extent of the lies she had been fed, but that the King has something planned, far bigger than she ever imagined, and finally realizes that her true enemies may not be the monsters after all.

Kara has lived her whole life trapped under the roof of her father's inn. She longs for adventure, but there is little to be found in a backwater village: at least until Aiden Baird arrives. Noble, rogue, and spy - Aiden Baird is the most notorious man in the Kingdom. Or he would be, if he could remember who he is... Cuan has lived his entire life as the garrison brat, surrounded by soldiers. Unwanted and ignored, he travels north in the service of the one man he looks up to: Gray, the garrison captain. But Captain Gray has concerns of his own. It has been fifteen years since he last saw the King, and they did not part on good terms. Something dark is growing in the Kingdom. Trade from the south has choked to a standstill, and the air over the marshes hangs heavy with the threat of war. In the north the sea-wall, the ancient defence that protects the coastline, is crumbling. The people look to their lords for guidance, and the lords look to their King. King Varion has little time for their concerns. His daughter has been kidnapped by a priest-cult who intend to sacrifice her and summon an ancient power into the world. Faced with an enemy beyond human understanding, there is only one conclusion. In order to save their people, the Kingdom must fall.
