The Nymph King
(2026)(The third book in the Plot of the Six Saint series)
A novel by Jacquelyn Gilmore
Hunted and crowned in blood, the queen rises from the ashes of her ruin to become the monster they fear—and she’ll set the world on fire before she kneels.
When Imani returns to Essenheim, her kingdom is no longer hers—and barely recognizable.
Fractured magic hums through the air, unstable and alive. Fabric events tear open the sky, riots ignite across the territories, and mercenaries and covens scour the land for the missing heir—offering her head to the imposter king who now rules with unholy strength.
Tanyl—once Imani’s closest friend—has crowned himself savior and tyrant, purging dissent and binding witches to his cause under pain of death. Whispers coil through the streets that he is gathering magic wielders to forge a weapon powerful enough to rewrite the balance of the realm. And Kiran’s final warning—of the allies standing behind Tanyl’s throne—echoes in Imani’s mind like a curse she cannot outrun.
When wanted posters bearing her face appear across the kingdoms, and an unholy alliance between Essenheim and Niflheim moves to ensure her destruction, Imani’s last refuge vanishes. To reclaim her throne and save what remains of magic itself, she must defy exile and enter the most dangerous territory in the realm—the Draswood Forest.
There, in the seat of Vathis, the elusive High Sentinel of the Norn elves will decide her fate.
Crown her.
Condemn her.
Or force her to become something far worse than either.
The Plot of the Six Saints series is a villain-origin saga that grows darker—and more ruthless—with every book. The Nymph King is perfect for readers who crave morally black heroines, fractured loyalties, weaponized magic, and court romance where obsession has consequences, and the heroine may not be the hero at all.
Note: This is book three in a five-part dark fantasy romance series best enjoyed in order and featuring a cliffhanger. This book is for adult readers and contains mature and explicit content. See the author’s website blog for a complete list of trigger warnings and a glossary of terms.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
