by Lauren H Salisbury (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 36 ratings
She's captured the king... but can she capture his heart before it's too late?

Madeline Dalbot rules the peaceful kingdom of Tyrrath on her ailing father's behalf. When their borders are attacked and her guards capture the notorious Wolf King, she is left with an impossible decision.
Unable either to release him or keep him prisoner without risking a full-scale war, she agrees to marry him instead, allowing his army access to her lands in exchange for the freedom to rule as she sees fit. But he ignores their bargain. His army strips Tyrrath’s resources, and her people go missing.
With the Wolf King intent on destroying everything and everyone Madeline loves, she must break through to his cold heart before her entire kingdom is enslaved. But the only way may be to risk everything she has.

The Wolf King is a fantasy romance inspired by The Three Little Pigs.

Review

"A fascinating premise, intriguing characters, and a world worth visiting made The Wolf King a page-turner!" - C.J. Redwine, New York Times bestselling author of The Shadow Queen

"Clever and rich, The Wolf King is a fantasy you won't want to put down." - Casey L. Bond, author of Where Oceans Burn

"Salisbury delivers an engaging and fast-paced fantasy full of lovable characters, tender moments, and high stakes action that will keep you on your toes." - V.B. Lacey, author of The Elementals of Iona

"With a fresh take on the romantasy retelling genre and a strong narrative voice, Salisbury's debut is perfect for fans of marriage of convenience, enemies to lovers, and strong sisterly bonds." - Rachel L. Schade, author of Castle of Dusk and Shadows

"Salisbury masterfully takes a classic childhood fable and crafts it into a swoonworthy romantic fantasy. I adored morally grey Lucas, the relatable sister relationships, and the fantastic world filled with political intrigue and plot twists." - Stephanie Combs, co-author of The Stars Would Curse Us Series

5 out of 5 stars
Read this book!! It is SO worth it!!
I started reading this right after a book from another author that was a huge let down so I needed this book to be epic and it delivered!!! Plot twists, rip your heart out, recover, maybe rip it out again. SO good! The sister bond was so special, and I appreciated how the author brought that relationship to life so well. Now, Lucas. My gosh! He immediately reminded me of Hook from “Once Upon A Time”, then it was like dashes of Mr. Darcy, Wesley from “The Princess Bride” and maybe even some Guy of Gisbourne from BBC’s Robin Hood!! She smashed it!! I would read it again!!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful retelling! I couldn't put it down!
    Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2024

    The Wolf King is the first book in a series of interconnected standalones, and it's a retelling of The Three Little Pigs fable, which was one of the main reasons I was drawn to the story and couldn't wait to read it, as I had never seen this tale's retelling before.

    Maddie is the eldest princess and sister of the three princesses of the Tyrrath kingdom. With her father ill, the responsibility of ruling falls on her shoulders, and she does her best to keep the kingdom safe. When the king from the neighbouring Craeick kingdom, Lucas, invades her kingdom and leaves only destruction behind him, she decides to take matters into her own hands and set a trap for him. However, Lucas, known as the Wolf King, is not easily outsmarted, and the tables quickly turn. Maddie agrees to marry him, believing an alliance with the Wolf King will help protect her kingdom. What starts as a marriage of convenience slowly evolves into something more as Maddie and Lucas get to know each other. However, betrayal and schemes are never far away, and more than her heart, family, or kingdom is at stake...

    This book has everything I love in a good story - lovable characters and side characters, romance, banter, plot twists, a mystery to solve, strong family bonds, kingdoms to save and magic.

    Luc and Maddie are perfect together. Despite his efforts to resist, Luc's heart melts for Maddie, and his rough edges start to crumble around her and her family,revealing what's been beneath his armour all along. Maddie, though young, takes her responsibility seriously and puts everyone before herself, even if it means marrying the enemy. As the story progresses, she becomes stronger and bolder than before. Aside from the chemistry between Luc and Maddie, one of my favourite aspects of the story is their siblings. They add wholesomeness to the story, and I can't wait to meet them in their own stories.And that plot twist? Genius! I suspected something was off, but I didn't expect that particular twist. I had suspicions about a few characters, and my hunch proved true, although the outcome was unexpected.

    If you're looking for a romantasy with an evil male main character, a strong female main character, an enemies-to-lovers trope, witty banter, closed-door swoony romance, and a happy ending, this book is for you.

    Oh, and if these reasons to read this book are still not enough for you, this book has a beautiful map inside!😉

    4.0 out of 5 stars The Wolf King
    Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2024

    I believe I was initially drawn to this book because of the title. Then having read the synopsis I was even more drawn to it. I am happy to report it did not disappoint. The Wolf King was such a nice, quick, clean read with enough angst to keep you rooting for the MCs and enough suspense to keep guessing at who or why. The plot twist was so unexpected, completely throwing cold water on my prediction but I am most happy it did.

    That being said, if you like fairytale retelling, a FMC who is not afraid to sacrifice all for the sake of her family and kingdom, a MMC who promises to kill anyone who so much as touches “his wife”. Sisterly and brotherly bonds, then The Wolf Kong is the book for you. Kudos to author Lauren H Salisbury for a book well done.

    Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2024

    This story stole my mind and even when I wasn't reading I couldn't stop thinking about what was happening. The author surprised me at every turn and I so totally didn't see the twists coming. Add to that the fact I was invested in both character points of view from the start, it makes this epic romantasy both gripping and all-consuming.

    I loved the arranged marriage by the princess' own choice twist on this story. That particular trope is a really hard one to navigate, but it's done brilliantly here with the added twist, which totally made the rest of the unfolding events along with the romantic elements really powerful. On top of that, the plot is brilliantly crafted. The red herrings were all perfectly planted so I believed each one was possible up until the moment the author revealed what the actual truth was, and I definitely did get quite a few surprises.

    On the note of expectations, I see some refer to this book as romantasy, but I'd say that's an incorrect appelation since it is more a fantasy with a strong romantic plotline, rather than a romance with fantasy elements. The fantasy world is brilliantly constructed and is wonderfully presented in a slow and even measure. I look forward to finding out more in future books because it's clear the author has put a lot of thought into the worldbuilding and magic system, and that what's presented in this volume really is the tip of the ice berg.

    Additionally, the little hints towards the Three Little Pigs fairytale were very clever and added so much to the story. Those moments when the connections became clear definitely felt like peeling back layers and it was fun to find them, especially since this work is a story entirely its own.

    I am desperately looking forward to the next book, since this one gripped me so perfectly and I definitely want to know what happens next.

    This book is an enemies to lovers book. You follow Maddie around as she protects her kingdom and goes as far as strategically capturing the Wolf King and making a deal with him. Little did she know that it would be her undoing. There is tension in the love story but is spice free. There are multiple twists that keep you on your toes!

    I so much enjoyed this book. It was light-hearted romantic fantasy with its dark moments, and twists and turns in the plot. I don't think the happy ending was ever much in doubt, but I enjoyed getting there.
