A woman's search for her missing sister instead brings her four powerful princes of chaos in this steamy, why-choose romantasy by TikTok author Jade Presley.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

'You think I chose you because I wanted to?' He shakes his head, that laugh sliding like warm whiskey over my bare skin. 'I had to choose you. I needed to choose you. There was no stopping it. And the second the words came out of my mouth, I knew I'd damned us.'

Threatened by invaders, the kingdom of Lumathyst is on the verge of chaos, and no one can stop it. Unless the four immortal god-princes find their fated mate and safeguard the throne, Lumathyst will fall.

Five women have tried. Five have failed. And tonight in the royal city, the princes need to find their Chosen and hope she can survive the transformation that will make her immortal.

Only Rylee Gray wasn't supposed to be here. She snuck in for her own dark reasons, and now they claim they've found their perfect match. Her. Of course, they have no idea she's concealing a secret big enough to damn them all.

The four princes have no choice. They'll use every delectably wicked skill they have to make Rylee fall for all of them... or watch their kingdom collapse.

Tropes:

Why choose

Enemies-to-lovers

Fated mates

Who hurt you

Touch her and you die

Golden retriever and dark and brooding MMCs
