The Peasant Groom is the Abyss

Kieran has just slain the Abyss Behemoth, and hi

Kieran has just slain the Abyss Behemoth, and his masters send him home with a warning: he must consummate his marriage to his fated bride before his twenty-fifth birthday, or the Abyss power inside him will destroy the Realm. He returns to the kingdom of Avalon in a peasant’s rags, certain that his childhood sweetheart Bryony is the one. She spurns him for a cruel count’s heir and throws the legendary Dragon Ring on the floor. Humiliated and mocked, Kieran hides his true power while the proud Princess Elowen takes notice, and the Dragon Ring begins to glow for her. As arena duels, beast-prince threats and court schemes close in, the peasant everyone despises must claim his bride before his curse tears the Realm apart.
