Description

This limited deluxe edition will include designed edges.

From #1 New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout comes the complete Summer King saga—three parts, one epic romance.

Cold. Heartless. Deadly. Whispers of his name alone bring fear to fae and mortals alike. Caden, the Prince, is the most dangerous being in the mortal world—haunted by a past he couldn’t control and driven by a singular desire: revenge. And there’s only one person who can help him.

Brighton Jussier knows better than to trust him. Raised in the Order, she’s seen the atrocities Caden is capable of. Reformed or not, she wants nothing to do with him…until he leaves her no choice. Forced into an uneasy alliance, she discovers the man beneath the ice—a man whose touch burns with forbidden heat and whose gaze holds a wicked promise.

But there’s someone out there who wants to return the Prince to his former self. A walking, breathing nightmare hell-bent on destroying the world—and everyone close to him. The more Brighton and Caden work together, the harder it is to deny the hunger between them. And when Brighton is bestowed with the forbidden Summer’s Kiss, becoming something no longer human, Caden refuses to let her go—even at the cost of his Court.

Now, as the doorway to the Otherworld is breached, Brighton and Caden must do the unthinkable—not just to survive, but to save mankind from the evil that threatens to consume the world.

Previously published as the novellas The Prince, The King, and The Queen.

About the Author

#1 New York Times and #1 International Bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout lives in Shepherdstown, West Virginia. All the rumors you’ve heard about her state aren’t true. When she’s not hard at work writing, she spends her time reading, watching really bad zombie movies, pretending to write, hanging out with her husband, her Border Jack—Apollo, Border Collie—Artemis, six judgmental alpacas, two rude goats, and five fluffy sheep. In early 2015, Jennifer was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, a group of rare genetic disorders that involve a breakdown and death of cells in the retina, eventually resulting in vision loss, among other complications. Due to this diagnosis, educating people on the varying degrees of blindness has become another passion for her, right alongside writing, which she plans to do for as long as she can.

Her dreams of becoming an author started in algebra class, where she spent most of her time writing short stories...which explains her dismal grades in math. Jennifer writes young adult, paranormal, science fiction, fantasy, and contemporary romance. She is published with Tor, HarperCollins Avon and William Morrow, Entangled Teen and Brazen, Disney/Hyperion, Harlequin Teen, and Blue Box Press; and PassionFlix recently made her Wicked series into a feature film. Jennifer has won numerous awards, including the 2020 Goodreads Choice Award in Romance for her adult fantasy, From Blood and Ash. She has also written Adult and New Adult contemporary and paranormal romance under the name J. Lynn.
