Deviant King by Rina Kent (Pre-order Aug. 11, 2026)

The explosive first book in the bestselling Royal Elite series, featuring a dark enemies-to-lovers romance filled with obsession, power, secrets, and unforgettable tension.

At Royal Elite School, one rule reigns above all: never challenge the king.

Elsa Quinn arrives with one goal—to graduate, stay out of trouble, and earn a place at her dream university. She has no interest in the school's dangerous hierarchy or the ruthless students who control it.

Then she crosses paths with Aiden King.

Feared by everyone around him, Aiden rules Royal Elite with absolute authority. Brilliant, cold, and utterly merciless, he's the last person Elsa should ever attract. But after a single encounter, she becomes the target of his relentless obsession.

His promise is simple.

He will destroy her.

Instead of backing down, Elsa refuses to surrender. Every act of defiance pulls her deeper into Aiden's dark world of manipulation, dangerous secrets, and irresistible attraction. As their battle of wills intensifies, hatred transforms into something far more complicated—and far more dangerous.

Because being Aiden King's enemy is terrifying.

Being the object of his desire may be even worse.

Dark, addictive, and packed with shocking twists, Deviant King launches the Royal Elite series with a gripping romance full of emotional intensity, morally gray characters, and impossible choices.

Content Note: Deviant King is a dark new adult romance featuring mature themes, bullying, possessive behavior, and morally gray characters that may not be suitable for all readers.
