When the crops fail, the monsters come.
When the monsters come, they buy the daughters.
Alice would do anything to keep her sister and cousin out of the hands of the monsters. She would even accept a marriage proposal from the Bee King, the mysterious honey magnate allegedly driving the prosperity of the empire.
But when she arrives at the Apiary, the secluded estate of her betrothed, nothing is as it seems. The empire's wealthy and famous are converging upon the estate and she soon learns that the Bee King is not marrying her for love or lust, but third reason--a dark, strange, and deadly reason.
NOTE: This is the only place to pre-order a paperback copy of THE BEE KING and you found it!
You can pre-order the e-book exclusively on Amazon.
Paperback orders will ship in early May and will include a signed bookplate and sticker.

"If Susanna Clarke's Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell had a baby with Greta Gerwig's Little Women, this is certainly the wild, weird little book baby that would come out."
