A forest princess and a demon boy collide in this friends-to-enemies-to-forbidden-lovers romantic fantasy by #1 New York Times bestselling author Elly Blake. Once upon a time, a young forest princess became friends with a lonely demon boy. He gifted her a ring, a worthless trinket . . . or so he thought. Because no sooner did he slide it onto her finger than the demon queen and forest king declared war. Years later, Cassia is a crucial force in her father's army, wielding her ring of light against hundreds of demons at a time. Then battle-hardened Zeru abducts her, planning to steal back the ring to fix his childhood mistake. Terrified, and more than a little mistrusting, Cassia is forced to travel with Zeru to a place they both believed only existed in storybooks, one where their friendship slowly rekindles into something much more. But it's only a matter of time before the war they've escaped comes for them, and a hidden threat to forest folk and demon alike grows in the shadows. - friends-to-enemies-to . . . 👥💏🗡?- forbidden love 🚫?? - slow burn romance🔥 - forced proximity 🤏🔒- banter 🗣?🤭TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT THE READERS ARE SAYING:'[It] truly captivated my heart and made my heart race with excitement and anticipation!' ★★★★★ 'This is romantic fantasy that readers will gladly be swept up by' ★★★★★ 'Pick up for those seeking adventure and enemies-to-lovers romance' ★★★★★ 'A sweetly romantic magical diversion' ★★★★★ 'The Forest King's Daughter is a must-read for fantasy lovers' ????'A majestic tale that weaves together questions of destiny, love, and self-discovery' ★★★★★
