Court of the Vanished: Threshold
“Action-packed …. Rice's writing is solid and the premise intriguing.”
--Publishers Weekly (re A Quest of Heroes)
“I await each release by this author eagerly and have never been disappointed!”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
From #1 bestseller and USA Today bestseller Morgan Rice, whose books have over 10,000 five-star ratings, comes the debut of an exhilarating new romantasy series, COURT OF THE THRESHOLD, ideal for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Holly Black, and Caroline Peckham.
Seren, a commoner, is torn from her ordinary life and bound against her will by marriage to Emryck, Lord of the vanished fae court. She knows not why she was chosen—only that every member of his court wants her dead.
When her escape attempt doesn't go as planned, Seren is left with a suspicion she can't that she is not the commoner she has always believed herself to be.
Before she can find answers, a brutal warlord from the borderlands crashes the court's most sacred ceremony and takes Seren for himself — and now she isn't sure which man is more dangerous, or which one she should fear more…..
Dark romance meets fae intrigue in a world where ancient contracts bind harder than chains and the most dangerous thing a commoner can be is chosen. Caught between a feared fae lord who won't explain why he keeps saving her life and a warlord who took her for reasons of his own, the question of who to trust becomes as treacherous as the court itself.
Future books in the series are available!

I was given an ARC of this book and I enjoyed it.
This was a great start to a new fantasy series. Seren is taken by the fae for a ceremony to be chosen for mysterious ends.
I enjoyed the descriptions of the strange fae world - the Court of the Vanished. Its customs rigid obscure. Seren calculates everything she sees in the hope of escape, while the lord needs to use her for the seal.
A warlord has other ideas...
Well-written and fast-paced, with an otherworldly feel.
Engaging, entertaining and intriguing.
