Never King, The (Vicious Lost Boys 1)

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

The first book in the bestselling BookTok viral Vicious Lost Boys series, a Peter Pan-inspired enemies-to-lovers spicy romantasy where the villain gets the girl. The stories were all wrong—Hook was never the villain.

For two centuries, all of the Darling women have disappeared on their eighteenth birthday. Sometimes they're gone for only a day, some for as long as a week or a month. But they always return broken. Now, on the afternoon of my eighteenth birthday, my mother runs around the house, making sure all the windows are barred and the doors locked.

But it's pointless. Because when night falls, he comes for me. And this time, the Never King and the Lost Boys aren't willing to let me go.

Note: The Never King is a reimagining of Peter Pan and Wendy. Characters have been aged-up for this darker, grittier version. If you like your enemies-to-lovers dark romance with hot, ruthless, morally grey love interests, you'll enjoy The Never King and the Vicious Lost Boys series. Expect hate kissing, fighting, bickering, and 'touch her and I'll unalive you' vibes.

Book one ends on a cliffhanger. Please check the author's website for content warnings.
