There are Fae far worse than me lurking in the woods…

I am Aspen, King of the Autumn Court. With me lies the great and terrible burden of hosting this century’s Hundred Year Reaping. Two human girls will be sent to my palace. I’ll hold not only their lives but also the fate of the Fair Isle in my hands.

I get to decide whether peace is maintained…or left to crumble beneath the tides of war.

Wouldn’t you know, it’s a bloody, rotting chore.

To Rule a Fae Throne is a short story prequel leading up to Book One in the Fair Isle Trilogy, To Carve a Fae Heart . Read the events brought King Aspen and Evelyn Fairfield together for the first time. Their meeting didn’t just change Evelyn’s life. It changed Aspen’s too. See what it looked like through Aspen’s eyes!

This is going to be a very short review, as this is a very short story. To Rule A Fae Throne is a short prequel novella that comes before To Carve A Fae Heart. As I am just about to start this series, I thought I would start with the short prequel novella and I am intrigued. There’s not a lot going on in this one as it’s only about 33 pages long but it gives you a bit of an insight into the head of, who I am assuming is, our male main character. I don’t really have any opinion fully formed on either character at the moment but this novella did make me intrigued to read more. I do think it is worth reading, but I am going to wait to decide whether I think reading it before or after the first book is the best way. I will update this review page after I have finished the first book.
