The Never King: Vicious Lost Boys, Book 1

About this book
For two centuries, the women of the Darling family have suffered a terrifying fate: on their eighteenth birthday, they vanish, only to return weeks later, irrevocably broken. As Wendy Darling approaches her own milestone, her mother attempts to fortify their home against the inevitable. But metal bars and locked doors are no match for the legends of Neverland. When night falls, the Never King arrives to claim his prize, and this time, he and his ruthless Lost Boys have no intention of letting her go. This dark, gritty reimagining of *Peter Pan* subverts the childhood classic, turning a whimsical tale into a pulse-pounding, high-stakes romance. Wendy finds herself trapped in a dangerous, shadow-filled version of Neverland, caught between morally gray men who are as possessive as they are lethal. Featuring the enemies-to-lovers trope, the narrative is packed with intense bickering, hate-fueled chemistry, and a "touch her and I’ll unalive you" protectiveness that keeps the tension simmering. Fast-paced and unapologetically spicy, this story is perfect for readers who crave dark fantasy with an edge. With its mysterious atmosphere and sharp character dynamics, this addictive series opener creates a captivating world that will leave readers desperate for the next installment.

See all formats and editions The stories were all wrong—Hook was never the villain. For two centuries, all of the Darling women have disappeared on their 18th birthday. Sometimes they’re gone for only a day, some a week or a month. But they always return broken. Now, on the afternoon of my 18th birthday, my mother is running around the house making sure all the windows are barred and the doors locked. But it’s pointless. Because when night falls, he comes for me. And this time, the Never King and the Lost Boys aren’t willing to let me go. NOTE: The Never King is a reimagining of Peter and Wendy. Characters have been aged up for this darker, grittier version. If you like your enemies to lovers romance with hot, ruthless, morally gray love interests, you’ll enjoy The Never King. You can expect hate kissing, fighting, bickering, and "touch her and I’ll unalive you" vibes. Book one ends on a cliff.
