Crimson Stained Catalyst
(2024)(The first book in the Last Fae King series)
A novel by Rebecca Ethington
“I have no Catalyst, I have no magic,” I snarled the words that had been drilled into me since the day I had been locked away. He only shook his head.
“It does not require magic to be powerful, Elara. You have always been that. That is why the Queen fears you, and why I will protect you."
Just as Elara is not allowed to speak.
To speak, to challenge the Queen, would surely mean death, especially when Elara starts unraveling all that the Queen is truly doing, and exactly why she is locked away in her gilded prison.
Elara was told her prison was for her safety, that it was the only place for a princess without magic.
It was all a lie.
Caspyn knows the queen is a tyrant because she was the one who killed his sister, who destroyed the world and turned it to ash. He saw it all in the world his sister was left in, the world that was lined with Fae who were only trained to kill, trained to hunt his kind down and end those like him: Those with untamed magic.
Caspyn may be the only one who knows what is coming, the only one who knows what the Queen truly is. He will stop at nothing to be the one to end her, to avenge what she did to his sister.
After he kills the wrong person on the wrong dirt road, however, finishing his quest to end the Queen becomes much more dire.
He cannot do it alone.
Caspyn must find Elara and convince her of her role in the world that is coming. Convince her that it is up to her to stop the powerful Queen enacts a plan that will end everything.
“It does not require magic to be powerful, Elara. You have always been that. That is why the Queen fears you, and why I will protect you."
