She knows when the abbey will fall. She doesn't know how to save the monster beneath it.

Ceramics conservator Tamsin Hollis knows how to mend broken things. But when a mysterious tile pulls her into Glastonbury in 1539, she finds a town she cannot save from the history she remembers—and an ancient guardian no history book ever mentioned.

Beneath the Tor, Gwyn holds a door closed against something that must never enter the world. Antlered, bound in bark and stone, he has kept his post for two thousand years. He cannot leave. And when the abbey's bells fall silent, the traditions sustaining him will die with them.

Tamsin means to find a way home. Instead, she finds herself returning to the hill, drawn to Gwyn's dry humor, his careful touch, and the man within the monstrous shape. Every visit makes leaving harder. Every day brings his fate closer.

The abbey has a plan to keep the door shut: seal its guardian inside forever. A royal auditor has another use for him—and an offer that could send Tamsin back to her own time.

Saving Gwyn means refusing both. But finding a way to free him could cost Tamsin the home she has been trying to reach—and endanger the people she has come to love.

The King Beneath the Hill is a standalone time travel monster romance in The Troth series, featuring Celtic folklore, a slow-burning love story, found family, and a happily-ever-after. Each book follows a different couple and can be read independently.
