Twisted King by Bailey Dark

Blood of poisoned earth, heart of unyielding stone, beware the Twisted King, who sits upon the throne…
After three years in college, my life is pretty predictable.
Lectures. Soccer. Sleep. Repeat.
And with only one year left at Dartmouth, it’s time to let go of childhood fantasies and focus on the real world awaiting me.
But it only takes one moment—one trivial action—and everything I know is gone.
Ripped from my world, I’ve fallen (literally) straight into a land where fires roar across the horizon and shadows cover the sky. And just before I crash into the harsh terrain below, someone—or something—catches me.
Except this new land is no fairytale.
And instead of a handsome prince, my savior is a furious beast of a man with an army of horribly misshapen creatures. Untrusted, I quickly find myself locked within his castle in this land of ash and decay.
His people want me gone.
His enemies want me dead.
But this vicious king claims that I may be the only one who can break the curse that has ruined his kingdom.
And it’s starting to seem like the only way to free myself . . . is to save the Twisted King.
