Product Details

About the Book

He's no fairy tale king. Levi: Here, little princess. I'm your king. You have three rules: bow, break, bend the knee. Fight me all you want, but soon enough, you'll be chanting long live the king.  

Astrid: One day I'm Royal Elite School's small fly, the next I'm hunted and left to die. He doesn't only shred my life to parts, but he's also coming after my heart. He thinks he broke me, but the new princess will bring the king to his knees.  

At Royal Elite School, the King name is one that isn't to be messed with — the Kings live by a code of pure viciousness. Levi King, the most popular young man at the school, has everything in the palm of his hands, from a football scholarship to a flock of admirers at his beck and call. That is, until one night he sets his sights on something out of reach: Astrid — and from that point on, anyone who touches her has to answer to the wrath of the King of RES.  

Grieving the death of her mother, Astrid finds herself pushed into a world where the only things that matter are wealth and power, and she decides invisibility is her only way to survive Royal Elite School. Reluctantly accompanying her friend Dan to a lavish party at Royal Elite, Astrid is thrust into a world of excess and opulence — and it isn't long before she's ensnared in the intrigue surrounding the Kings. She soon discovers that Levi's word is law, and anyone who dares oppose him risks dire consequences; as his possessive hold on her tightens, Astrid must navigate the treacherous waters of Royal Elite, unsure if she's on the path to freedom or further entrapment.  

Cruel King is a complete standalone in the Royal Elite world — no other book needs to be read prior to this one, making it the natural starting point for the series.
