Annalise has been taken, this time by the beast king Elias, who followed her from his kingdom to cause discord between her and Cyrus just as they were beginning to understand one another. After Annalise is gravely wounded during an escape attempt, she is left with a scattered memory and no sense of her previous self. But still, deep inside, she knows Elias is not who he claims to be. Now, she must find a way to escape Elias and return to a life that holds both good and bad memories of the “white-haired” man. What she doesn’t know is that the man she dreams of is no man but a beast—the king of beasts. And he will bring death and destruction with him to bring her home. The dark journey continues with the third installment of "The King" series
