Love is impossible. Hate is an open game. Kimberly He was once my best friend, now he’s my worst enemy. Xander Knight is heartbreakingly beautiful. Ridiculously popular. Brutally cruel. He’s a knight but won’t do any saving. Xander We started as a dream, now we’re a nightmare. Kimberly Reed is pathetically fake. Terribly innocent. Secretly black. She can hide but never from me. Black Knight is part of Royal Elite Series but could be read on its own. For better understanding of the world, you might want to read the previous books first. All of Rina Kent's books take place in the same interconnected universe , known as the #Rinaverse . Each series stands on its own and can be read independently.   DARK NEW ADULT ROMANCE Legacy of Gods Series God of Malice — Killian Carson & Glyndon King - God of Pain — Creighton King & Annika Volkov - God of Wrath — Jeremy Volkov & Cecily Knight - God of Ruin — Landon King & Mia Sokolov - God of Fury — Brandon King & Nikolai Sokolov - God of War — Eli King & Ava Nash Vipers Series Beautiful Venom — Kane Davenport & Dahlia Thorne - Sweet Venom — Jude Callahan & Violet Winters - Tempting Venom — Preston Armstrong & Marcus Osborn Villain Series (Male x Male) Kiss the Villain — Gareth Carson & Kayden Lockwood - Hunt the Villain — Vaughn Morozov & Yulian Dimitriev - Crave the Villain — TBA Royal Elite Series Cruel King — Levi King & Astrid Clifford - Deviant King — Aiden King & Elsa Steel - Steel Princess — Aiden King & Elsa Steel - Twisted Kingdom — Aiden King & Elsa Steel - Black Knight — Xander Knight & Kimberly Reed - Vicious Prince — Ronan Astor & Teal Van Doren - Ruthless Empire — Cole Nash & Silver Queens - Royal Elite Epilogue — All couples from Royal Elite Lies & Truths Duet All The Lies & All The Truths — Reina Ellis & Asher Carson Thorns Duet Red Thorns & Black Thorns — Sebastian Weaver & Naomi Chester   MAFIA ROMANCE & ROMANTIC SUSPENSE    Throne Duet Throne of Power & Throne of Vengeance — Kyle Hunter & Rai Sokolov Deception Trilogy Vow of Deception , Tempted by Deception & Consumed by Deception — Adrian Volkov & Lia Morelli Monster Trilogy Blood of My Monster , Lies of My Monster & Heart of My Monster — Kirill Morozov & Alexandra Ivanova   CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE    Kingdom Duet Reign of a King & Rise of a Queen — Jonathan King & Aurora Harper Empire Series Empire of Desire — Nathaniel Weaver & Gwyneth Shaw - Empire of Sin — Knox Van Doren & Anastasia Sokolov - Empire of Hate — Daniel Sterling & Nicole Adler - Empire of Lust — Kingsley Shaw & Aspen Leblanc
