About this book
In a shattered parallel timeline, the world bleeds under the iron fist of Mercury Linnaeus. As the malevolent ruler tightens his grip, the ancient Fae are the last line of defense against the savage, god-like Vanir. With the Fae’s resistance crumbling and their resolve fading, the future of their realm hangs by a thread. Amidst this encroaching darkness, an unlikely and volatile connection forms between two men on opposite sides of a blood-soaked war: Nathaniel, a disgraced Fae heir, and Eiríkr, the tainted son of the tyrant Mercury. Their relationship is a high-stakes, slow-burn enemies-to-lovers struggle, defined by deep-seated trauma and the weight of their warring legacies. As they navigate a landscape of political intrigue and mounting violence, they must confront whether their burgeoning bond can survive the corruption of their world—or if their clashing loyalties will ultimately tear them apart. Perfect for fans of gritty dark fantasy, this steamy, character-driven prequel offers a raw, emotional exploration of morality and survival. Through evocative prose and intense tension, it paints a haunting picture of a world where hope is a dangerous commodity and the most powerful weapon is a forbidden connection.

With his loyal son by his side, Mercury’s influence spreads and hope is fading as all who dared resist are eliminated one by one. Now, only the Fae remain to stand against the Vanir, but their dwindling numbers and apathetic nature offer little hope. The future looks grim until an unlikely relationship sparks between Nathaniel, a disgraced Fae heir, and Eiríkr, the tainted son of Mercury. Can Nathaniel sway Eiríkr to his side, or will the detestable savage corrupt him further… The standalone Prequal/Book six in the dark fantasy horror series Eric Linnaeus. ) Report an issue with this product or seller](https://www.amazon.com/Eric-Linnaeus-ALTERNATE-Book/dp/B0GWGWHHY1/ref=sr1533?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Fdm7ZVEUS2HkkeLgruxwZ79VhdESSSZqPo62PZRGYoGvDgGjdPhO7z64ml6T-Nd3vT9pPFnE5uO7eCTB56FEBuzZ-4q3VJJ4v-Q7gKohn6RJIL4bP9bQNTyueHlqPU0SMRmMUzAtVwE90-E4PAw4BwiOhH3IkoJmnByszkQCnKCWexDCwrQKT801t7nX2IlNFVEuvmyIReVBw27UXQdD13xSYVQp8i56PN0vG8.W3MalCMtUlnpE1whIjQmbUn8HSQgblU15qVl9rzWok0&dibtag=se&qid=1780246170&s=books&xpid=BtZXy3REumMg) Previous slide of product details 1.

She is an untraditional author who began writing horror fiction on r/nosleep, and many of her older stories can be found narrated on YouTube or in horror Podcasts. Nowadays, Kikito writes dark fantasy, slow-burning, enemies-to-lovers romances filled with morally complex characters and a touch of drama. Her stories weave together layered mysteries, unreliable narrators, and leave subtle clues for readers to unravel. Based in Australia, she is accompanied by a very loud, opinionated siren of a cat and enjoys daydreaming about new plots, long walks, and reading. about this author Read less about this author) Products related to this item Sponsored Page 1 of 1Start over Previous page of related Sponsored Products 1.
