Necessary Evil by Harper A. Brooks
A great evil waits for me…
And it won’t stop until it swallows me whole.
I’ve been ripped from Dark Castle, thrown back into the mortal world where I don’t belong.
Here, they think I’m crazy. They’ve locked me up and forced pills down my throat, telling me I’ve lost my mind.
And maybe I have…
I’ve fallen for three monsters after all.
Prince Airic, Knight Reis, and shapeshifter Wels—they are the sinister men of my nightmares and my deepest fantasies. I can still feel their touches, hear their voices in my head, but they’re in danger.
I have to get back to them because if the shadows close in, I can lose everything.
The kingdom.
My monsters.
And ultimately, myself.
