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 in ruins—and many people want her dead.
Fractured magic tears through the sky, riots burn through the territories, and mercenaries hunt the missing heir whose face now appears on every wall. The imposter king ruling in her place has grown dangerously powerful'' and he was once the prince she trusted most.
Tanyl now purges dissenters in her name and binds witches to his cause under pain of death. Whispers claim he’s forging a weapon from dying magic—and that he’s allied with something far darker.
To reclaim her throne and save the realm's magic, Imani must defy exile and enter the deadly Draswood Forest, where the Norn elves rule from the shadows. There waits the High Sentinel—cold, elusive, and powerful enough to crown her… or kill her.
To survive, Imani must decide which monster she’s willing to become—and which one she’s willing to trust.
The Nymph King combines high-stakes political fantasy with emotional grit and atmospheric worldbuilding, perfect for fans of The Serpent and the Wings of Night, One Dark Window, Trial of the Sun Queen, The Shadows Between Us, From Blood and Ash, and A Dawn of Onyx.
Readers Beware: This book is for adult readers and contains mature and explicit content (see the author’s website blog (jacquelyngilmore.com) for a complete list of trigger warnings).
Genre: Paranormal Romance
