From Elizabeth Stevens, writing as E.J. Knox, comes...A loyal henchman's version of the story, and the four goddamned years that led to it.Once upon a time, there was a King. He'd been moulded callous and cold, to rule with an iron fist and crush his boot through anyone's throat who disobeyed. He didn't know another world and he didn't want to. He revelled in his superiority, and he was damned good at it.Then, a lowly maiden came into his life, and it was completely blown the f*ck open. She was good, pure, and kind. Everything the King could never be and never have, but it didn't stop him falling utterly in love with her. It didn't stop her being the reason his ruined heart beat.This is the story of how the mighty King of Rivermont fell in love with the Un-Queen long before she had any idea she was even on his radar. I can vouch for it. I'm Jaeger Richards, the loyal left hand of Rivermont's King, and I was there for the whole freaking tortured thing.This is a semi-prequel novella to Reign: Beckett from Jaeger's point of view. It is designed to be best read after reading Beckett and Eden's story. The series features dark, angsty, contemporary high school bully/enemies-to-lovers romances with enough steam to melt your screen.The Rivermont Royals Reveals are a comic interlude, lifting the curtain a little on the world of the Rivermont Royals, letting you behind the scenes of what makes them and their world tick. Jaeger was left to take the reins, as Beckett refused to use enough words for a single chapter let alone a whole novella.This book is set in Australia and therefore written using Australian English. This will affect the spelling, grammar and syntax you may be used to. It might come across as typos, awkward sentences, poor grammar, or missed/wrong words. In the majority of cases (I won't claim it's infallible, despite all best efforts), this is intentional and just an Aussie way of speaking (it took my US beta readers a bit to get used to). I can't say 'the' Aussie way, since we seem to differ even within the same state. Just think of us as a weird mix of British and US vernacular and colloquialisms, but with our own randomness thrown in. I still hope you enjoy it, though!Contains possible triggers.
