About this ebook

Even kings who serve at the whim of gods break the rules every now and then.

 As the newly anointed king of the Underworld, I’ve worked hard to clean up the mess left behind by my predecessor. The realm is in relative peace at the moment, my main focus now on deciding the fate of recently departed souls. It’s a tediously boring task, and honestly, one I despise doing. But just when I think I can’t stand another moment of the monotony, one soul changes it all.

Nyssa McKnight earned her ticket to Hell. She made her choices and even at the prospect of eternal damnation, she doesn’t seem to regret the actions that led her here. I can tell by her utter defiance that life has hardened her, a trait that has carried over to her in death. She should be begging me for mercy but instead calls me a “big old winged bat”.  I should toss her right into The Crimson River for her insolence but instead I think I’ll keep her in servitude.

While I struggle to reconcile the intrigue—and attraction—I have for this human, I am forced to spend my days investigating rumors of an uprising in the Underworld. Unfortunately, my desire to keep Nyssa has provided a weak spot for the rebellious Dark Fae looking to gain control, one they’re quick to act on. Now, with Nyssa in danger and my throne threatened, I will stop at nothing to restore order, even if it means letting her go.

Can Amell, the king of the Underworld, find true love, or is he destined to rule alone until the end of days?

The Midnight Realm is a standalone romantic fantasy novel about unexpected redemption within The Chronicles of the Stone Veil series.

Ratings and reviews

I just LOVED this steamy seventh book in this series. I just love Amell. He was so cocky and alpha like! I also really enjoyed Nyssa. She was a take no prisoner bad a$$. Together these two gave us a great story that you couldn't help but root for them to be together. For a series I was unsure I was going to enjoy, this may just be my favorite Sawyer Bennett series yet!

Pure, dark, steamy perfection! This book is so awesome, that I have already read it twice. I just can’t get enough of this series. This is a top-notch dark fantasy romance. If you love broken villains, then Amell will melt your heart. In Book Six, we get Amell’s story. He has played a part in the Chronicles of The Stone Veil from the beginning of the series. Amell and Nyssa are the villians that you will be routing for while your heart melts. I just couldn't get enough.

I have to start off saying I’m not normally drawn to paranormal or fantasy stories but I can’t get enough of Sawyer Bennett’s Chronicles of the Stone Veil and The Midnight Realm is a wonderful addition to this magical series. This is King of the Underworld Amell and human Nyssa McKnight’s complicated and at times heart breaking journey. Amell knows what he wants, normally he gets it and he has his sights set on Nyssa but for this couple to have future they will need to overcome the danger.
