The Kingdom of the Banished by Elle A.H.

They say the course of true love never does run smooth. This year, Leonardo and I took that to an extreme.

It had been four years since we thought we started our happily ever after. That's almost a thousand and a half days, the arrival of two more children and a whole lot of ordinary, chaotic peace.

But that all came to a swift end when Leo's past came to bite us in the ass. Those I thought I'd lost long ago soon stood before my eyes, uncovering a shadowy side of my mate. He was the man I couldn't live without, yet as dark tales and secrets were revealed, I found myself questioning if I ever even knew him. My trust in him shattered along side my heart and our love was put to the ultimate test.

And it all started with an ambush, leaving me alone in an unfamiliar room...

If you're here for another beautiful romance novel, do heed this before reading: the course of true love will certainly not be running smoothly.
