Publisher's summary

Isolation, darkness, and rotting flesh,

Surround me, suffocate me,

But I am the vile ruler who controls it all.

I long for warmth,

Yet, all that I touch,

Is cold.

Then, she stumbles in to my domain,

Lost and frightened,

Alone and confused.

And I terrify her even more.

She calls me the devil,

So I show her pleasure,

Like only the devil can.

I am the heat that stirs her flesh,

The longing that trembles her bone.

She begs her body to refuse,

To escape my embrace,

But I am her master,

The puppeteer of passion.

I am the King of Flesh and Bone.

Welcome to my court, little one.

King of Flesh and Bone is a full-length dark fantasy novel, the first book in The Pale Court duet. The two-part story features a ruthless man, the woman who can't escape his love, and a happily ever after. This world contains dark themes, violence, loss, and elements of horror some may find disturbing. What this book doesn't contain is a hero—because villains do it better.

Good read but not for the faint of heart!

Great story. Excellent writer. To make anyone feel for this character is proof of another level of skill as a writer. Bravo. Great book. Roller coaster of emotions. And I am getting part two immediately.

Darker Side of Love

If real love had a dark side, this read surely explains it in every steamy erotic and twisted detail!

Cool Story - Bad Reading Performance.

The story is interesting and the writing is great but I'm sorry, Auri's performance is difficult to enjoy when she's acting the male voice. She tried to make the voice low and serious, but for most of the book, it comes out as a whisper forcing the reader/listener to constantly adjust the volume to year what she's saying and then quickly turning it back down when she does the woman's voice as the woman's voice is a normal volume.

The drastic volume changes may not be the performer's fault but the audio engineer's. Either way, someone should have reviewed the performance/production before this was released.

Started slow

This story needed up being a good one but the beginning was very slow. I loved the that female protagonist was strong willed and not a whiny blubbering sissy.

Dark, sexy, and a great story

If you’re not into dark stories/romances, please don’t be a Karen/SJW and read this book. Please read the reviews and if it’s not your cup ‘o tea, move on to the light/vapid romance novels.

For the rest of you (naughty souls), take a chance and read it. It’s normally not a book I would gravitate towards, BUT I enjoyed it and will read similar books in the future.

Good book

I loved the fantasy aspect of the book. This is not a stand alone book. Can’t wait to start to second.

Great dark fantasy romance

Awesome story, great narration by both Auri Alden and Gregory Salinas. I own the ebooks of this duology and now love listening to the audiobooks!

This duology is very heavy with triggers so make sure you check the trigger warnings before listening to this book.

Took three tries but I dig it!

I just couldn’t get into this book. But now, several months and multiple tries later, I’m loving it! It’s totally original, well written with a detailed world. The characters aren't the cookie-cutter norm (sassy strong but submissive girl, dominating asshole who's actually wounded nice guy) they have real depth and show growth as the story progresses. Lots of pretty decent sex scenes, but written we'll enough to not just be smutty book porn.
Narration was fine. Had a few spots when the woman does Males voice that were awkward. Nothing you can t move past. You for sure going to want headphones with this one! The dirty scenes can happen fast and they get detailed quickly! You have been warned!
Absolutely worth a credit! I am SOOO glad I gave this another chance. Def getting the next book and following the author.
