Appartient à la sérieRealm Immortal (2)
It is ill-advised to incur the wrath of a faery, but it is most foolish to do so of a faery queen...At first sight, Queen Tania of the Faeries knows that Hugh, Earl of Bellemare, is her one true love. Yet a year has passed since he promised to return, and now she knows he never intended to come back. With her mood darkening and her castle tarnishing, Tania vows to teach Hugh a lesson he'll never forget. That no human should dare deceive a faery queen. In her despair, she turns to King Lucien of the Damned, and swears a blood vow that risks the fate of all the faeries--and Hugh's soul.Suspicious of the magical world, Hugh wishes he'd never discovered the truth of what was beyond the mortal realm. Noble duty consumes his time--but not his heart. He lost that to the seductive Queen Tania, who surely wanted him only as her plaything. Despite his vow to forget the teasing nymph, she haunts his every thought. When he finds himself kidnapped by the demon king and back in Tania's arms, Hugh cannot resist her charms. But with his family's safety at stake and the land at war, he must return to his home. Even if it means destroying Tania's life.In a war-ridden land, destiny rides on the wings of a faery queen and on the will of an earl who refuses to acknowledge their love.Warning: This book contains hot sex, violence, a castle full of amorous faeries, a vengeful queen succumbing to her darker thoughts and the human she would make her plaything.

Queen Tania and Hugh first meet in King of the Unblessed, Book one of Michelle M. Pillow’s Realm Immortal series when Queen Tania and her faeries hold Hugh and his brothers captive while she aids the Unblessed King Merrick in his bid for the Lady Juliana’s heart.
As the Lord of Bellemare in the mortal realm, Hugh has responsibilities to his family, his subjects, and the land he holds. And yet he can not forget the Faery Queen Tania, in spite of her betrayal that cost him his sister Juliana.
Queen Tania grows tired of waiting for Hugh to fulfill his promise to her, and resolves to bring about his return herself. When she facilitates a plan to return him to her, will it destroy both Hugh’s family and his love for Tania?
Having read Book One of the Realm Immortal series, King of the Unblessed, I was excited to learn of this sequel. Pillow’s Realm Immortal world is fraught with intrigue and captivating characters, each of whom entices the reader’s interest with the promise of secrets yet unraveled. In fact, the writer spins even more mystery surrounding Book One’s Merrick and Juliana, promising that couple’s return in future sequels.
When Book One ended, the Blessed Kingdom and the Unblessed Kingdom had begun a war, with the brothers King Ean & King Merrick reluctantly battling each other, while also defending against the Damned King Lucien’s evil machinations. In Book Two, Faery Queen, the war continues, but is a background piece to King Lucien’s plotting against the Bellemare line and Queen Tania. While centering Lucien very firmly as the villain, the author still manages to deftly engender sympathy for both Lucien and the nymph Mia, who torments him, hinting at a future tale exploring their story more fully.
Pillow has created a complex world and a heartbreaking love story filled with friction, angst, and deep love. While most definitely a fantasy piece, both the lead characters and the supporting characters are very real.
Michelle M. Pillow has swiftly become an author whose work I trust implicitly. I’ve not read a story by her that I haven’t enjoyed, and would purchase any of her work without even reading the blurb first, if necessary. She never fails to create a completely fascinating story. (
