In a world where Light Fairies stand for justice, Love Fairies spark romance, and Dark Fairies feed, destroy, and generally make a mess of things—Veravos doesn’t quite fit in.

As a Dark Fairy, he’s expected to join the war effort under Queen Judorah’s rule, tearing down the world for reasons that mostly sound like bad management and unnecessary paperwork.

But Veravos? He’d rather be left alone to brood dramatically in his woods, avoid extroverts, and maybe—just maybe—become human someday.

Then Scarlette crashes—literally—into his life.

She’s a rogue Love Fairy with forbidden magic, sharp opinions, and a mysterious emerald she insists on using as a kitchen knife. Hunted by her own kind, she might be Veravos’s key to uncovering ancient secrets tied to the Light Kingdom… or the beginning of his downfall.

Together, they’ll clash, bargain, and uncover truths neither of them is ready for. But when love turns lethal and darkness isn’t the worst thing chasing them, they’ll have to decide: will they rewrite their destinies, or become casualties in someone else’s war?

Told through Veravos’s dry, sarcastic voice, The Dark Fairy King is a sharp-tongued fantasy filled with reluctant alliances, chaotic magic, and unexpected heart.

Scarlette, the narrator, reveals that she was once part of the Love Fairy Kingdom but was locked away in a dungeon for believing in a different, more intense kind of love. She spent centuries in isolation, forgotten by everyone. When guards from the new king—Baltimore—accidentally open the prison gates, she escapes. Shocked to find the kingdom changed and blooming with the "Hundred-Year Tree," she realizes a century has passed. No one remembers her, not even the King. Scarlette, once Queen of the Love Fairies, vows revenge.
