Death marked her from her very first breath. Being sired by a Madrid is supposed to be a blessing, but for Tempest, it's a curse that leaves her orphaned, penniless, and enslaved to a blood thirsty crown on the brink of war. Found too unruly to become a ward of the court, she's thrust into the care of the King's Hounds - the assassins and warriors responsible for protecting the kingdom. Driven by rage and an oath to avenge her mother's memory, Tempest throws herself into training. But becoming the first ever female assassin isn't enough. Now, she must obtain the heart of her kingdom's most feared enemy - the jester - a deadly shapeshifter hidden in a land twisted by myth and darkness. Revenge is never easy or cheap. Tempest is willing to sacrifice everything to see justice served. Even her own soul and freedom. Enter the world of the Twisted Kingdoms at your own risk where monsters wear pretty masks, good and evil are at war, and fairy tales don't exist. If you love fiery heroines, sexy villains, enemies-to-lovers romance, pulse-pounding action, mafia undertones, and dark fairy tales, you need to discover the new series readers are comparing to Holly Blacks's Cruel Prince and Leigh Bardugo's Six of Crows. Industry Praise for The Hunt: "THE HUNT is a triumphant blend of fairy tale retelling with epic fantasy, resulting in a truly can't-put-it-down adventure. Tempest's story of heartache, vengeance, and honor enthralled me from the first page, and the tantalizingly slow-burn romance kept me begging for more. Frost Kay is a true queen of the genre!" - Sylvia Mercedes, Bestselling Author of The Venatrix Chronicles "THE HUNT is a dark fairytale retelling with heart-stopping action, hot shifters, mafia undertones, and a binge-worthy enemies to lovers romance that will reel you in and spit you out begging for more. Leigh Bardugo and Holly Black fans should prepare for their next obsession." - Audrey Grey, USA Today Bestselling Author "A deliciously twisted dark fairytale retelling, THE HUNT combines shifters, elements of epic fantasy, slow burn enemies to lovers romance, pulse-pounding action and SO MUCH tension. I was hooked from the very first page until the last. Fans of Leigh Bargo's Six of Crows will devour Frost Kay's Twisted Kingdoms series. Don't trust me, try it!! You'll thank me later." - Raye Wagner, USA Today Bestselling Author of Young Adult Fantasy "THE HUNT is a fast-paced fantasy adventure into a wickedly dark and captivating world! This epic battle of wills between a fiery, strong-willed heroine and her devious enemy will have you turning the pages deep into the night." - Natalia Jaster, author of the Foolish Kingdoms "The world building here is phenomenal. I love how the story applies to real world problems today. The racism and socioeconomic status of the characters reflect what is happening in today's world, and Frost Kay handles it beautifully through Tempest's experiences." - YA Books Central "What an intensely satisfying and delicious read. Temperamental Tempest was a fantastic main character with clear-cut goals and morals. And Pyre was a beautiful fox-man. This was my first Frost Kay read. My first of many. Book 2 please?" - Olivia Wildenstein, USA TodayBestselling Author About the "Twisted Kingdoms" Universe: The Twisted Kingdoms series is a collection of fairytale retellings set in the same world.
