The Cursed Kingdom by ☽ 𝐀𝐦𝐚𝐲𝐚 ☾ at Inkitt

Summary

"... I would gladly bend you over this very table and show you just how much of a monster I can be." In the northern mountains of Trellomar resides a kingdom that is cursed and inhabited by people imprisoned to turn into beasts for all eternity. When young and naive Raena accidentally goes too far outside her village, she is met with the Cursed King himself, the one responsible for his kingdom's curse in the first place. Taken from her home and claimed by the Cursed King as his, Raena must adapt to a vicious world of dark magic and brutal secrets where nothing is ever as it seems. Raena was always told to fear the Cursed Kingdom. But there is so much more to be afraid of. The cover is by @plasticparadox, who you can find on Wattpad.com

THE CURSED KINGDOM

For my mom, who I hope never reads this.

W A R N I N G S

- There will be cursing and mature themes. This means that this book requires readers who will not react inappropriately when such scenes occur. This does not just apply to the s-e-x word! I'm talking about real life situations like mental disorders and physical assault that need to be taken seriously. Please do not take this warning lightly! Although this book will not revolve around the subjects I just listed, these themes will pop up and I don't want anyone to be taken by surprise when they do.

I N F O

- There will be LGBTQ people in this story! Although the female protagonists is solely only attracted to men for the sake of the storyline, characters of different sexualities will appear.

- The religion(s) in this story are 100% fictional except for minor similarities that I have used as inspiration from other cultures around the world. Please be respectful of all my characters' beliefs.

- There will be things that seem 'weird' or 'gross' that the werewolf characters in this story do. This is because this is not a cliche werewolf story. These characters will not just be sexy, normal-behaving men with washboard abs that can magically turn into wolves. No. They will literally be people are who are half wolf and half man; therefore, they will do things that aren't exactly fitting for our human customs.

- The previous statement goes with this one. This is not at all a cliche story. At. All. Forget everything you've ever read in any werewolf novel because this has nothing to do with any of it. These characters are complex and sometimes even strange but that's why I hope you love them like I do!

- I would like to make this very clear one last time before I continue: THIS IS NOT LIKE OTHER WEREWOLF STORIES. There aren't even alphas or omegas. And mentions of popular terms from other werewolf stories, such as mates, rogues, and the moon goddess, are completely unique as well. With that said, if you're looking for a typical alpha-falls-in-love-with-a-damsel-in-distress story, then this is not the right book for you. I am proud of this world I have created. I hope that the reasons you enjoy it is because of its originality and because it doesn't follow in the footsteps of the thousands of werewolf books you see on Wattpad, Inkitt, or anywhere else.

- This is a dark romance werewolf story. AKA: not everything will be rainbows, butterflies, and cookies and etc. The characters will make mistakes—many, many, many, mistakes—and I do not need criticism or complaining every time that happens. Thank you.

- Do not think about history when reading this. Don't do it. All will be explained eventually. But for now, please do not comment if there are 'historical inaccuracies' because honestly there are none. How can there be? This is a fantasy book. Everything in here is 'inaccurate'.

- Hate comments will not be tolerated. That goes for both me, my story, and my readers. If I see any comments that I deem hurtful or insulting, you WILL be reported. I'm not trying to be rude. It's just a matter of keeping this a positive place for people to read a story.

- Constructive Criticism is always appreciated

- I try to be very interactive with my readers so please comment, comment, and comment! Also, don't be shy and feel free to DM me on either Wattpad or Instagram. :)

- Lastly: This is a first draft version! This means mistakes such as spelling and grammar errors will more than likely be present. I am a full time student pursuing a medical career which makes it 10x harder to have the time to look over everything. So please notify me if you notice any major mistakes! Thank you.
