Rue
I put up a good fight. Fate dealt me a raw deal, but I escaped it for a while, enjoying a brief taste of freedom and love. Now, I’m back where I started, but no one can take those memories from me. Especially since I’ve returned with a tangible piece of them–Vaegon, my pup.
I may have been dragged back to the path originally laid out for me, but no one will ever take Vaegon away. Even fate couldn’t be that cruel, could it?
Durin
The elves are convinced that Vaegon is the key to the realm's future. Rue and I are stuck in the dark, not knowing where he is or how long he’ll be there, or if he’ll even be the same when he returns.
All I want is to be with Rue. She needs comfort. She needs me. But if I want to end her suffering, I’ll have to devote most of my time to a battle I’m not sure I even want to fight anymore.
I'm left with no choice. I’ll fulfill my duty, but not out of revenge against the queen, not for the realm’s freedom, and not even because it’s the right thing to do. I’m fighting to reclaim my son and build a world where no one would dare threaten my family again.
King is the conclusion to Book 1 of the Noble Reckoning series, Consort, and cannot be read as a standalone.

5 out of 5 (exceptional)
KING is the grand finale of this duology and absolutely needs to be read after Consort.
Rue has been found and is being taken back to her old Pack. Durin has to do his duty to the queen as it is the change of seasons. What a bleak beginning! But, oh man, it's also such a great beginning. I was immediately right back in the story, with all my hopes and dreams resting on their shoulders.
This author is simply amazing at character-led stories full of emotions, and this one is no different. Did I cheer for Rue when she stood up for herself? Why, yes, I did. Did I sob into my Kleenex when my heart was eviscerated? Yep, I did that too. And did I cry again when something happened to a brave illusionist Fae? Yep, you've got me again.
This is an action-packed story with highs and lows, building to a dramatic ending that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Such an amazing story and one I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
