Painted Gold: An Epic Dark Romantasy with Why Choose, Found Family, Pregnancy, and Immortal Bonds (Eclipse Realms Saga) by Kirst N. Carpenter

To protect her family, she must embrace the darkness. To save the realms, she must become their fire. The secrets are out. The dangerous pregnancy Helyria once hid is now her greatest vulnerability, and the men she’s grown to love have been unmasked as Kings.
