She was his queen before she was his wife.
His best friend before she was his lover.
His whole world and he ordered her death without blinking.
When Aria, the beloved Queen of Valdris, is accused of murdering the king's mother, she expects her husband of her childhood love, her king to stand by her.
He doesn't.
King Kael Draveth raises his hand, and the executioner moves.
But Aria's final words shatter the kingdom: she dies carrying his unborn child and the truth she takes with her destroys him.
Centuries pass. The palace crumbles to roses and regrets.
They are reborn.
This time, Aria remembers everything. And this time ~she will not kneel.
The King's Last Lie is the story of a love that survived death, a woman who refused to break, and a man who spends three lifetimes learning that love is not a crown you wear it's a choice you make, every single day.
