My marriage was supposed to end a war.
Instead, it started one.
Kalan is my fated mate—and the crown prince of the kingdom my people just tried to destroy. When his queen imprisons me, he rescues me and takes me beyond the reach of both our courts.
In Paladan, ancient magic awakens inside me. Dangerous magic. The kind that turns people into symbols—and weapons.
Kalan wants vengeance for what my kingdom did.
I want to take my rightful throne and stop the bloodshed.
But love doesn’t erase betrayal.
And destiny doesn’t guarantee peace.
To save both realms, I’ll have to risk everything—including Kalan’s love.
A Court by Birthright is a dark, emotionally charged romantasy with fated mates, political intrigue, forbidden love, and a heroine powerful enough to change the fate of kingdoms.
★★★★★
“I couldn’t put this book down the relationship between Kalen and Freya was to die for. After reading book one of this series I wasn’t sure how their story could get any better, but now after reading book two I can honestly say it got much better.” – Shadow Queen, early reviewer

Praise for A Court by Birthright
“Characters are all bigger than life and don’t act exactly the way we think they should but are very independent and strong in their own right. The plots go in a direction I never expect. The magic is different too, like these Fae have magic that controls the elements, like water and earth. There is always love too, but not just any love, but a love meant to be. All these different factors make for an exciting story that I just can’t wait to read and this story is no exception to that.” C. Gruver on Amazon
“A Whirlwind Romance With An Epic Adventure: It’ll keep you on your toes wanting to know what’ll happen next.” –PThibo on Amazon
“This book Pulls you in. With war brewing and fated mates on both side. Hearts are divided between love and loyalty. The characters growth is amazing. Just when you think it’s going to be all right the ending has that huge cliffhanger. I can’t wait for the next book.” – KAG on Amazon
“I dove into A Court by Birthright with cautious optimism. I’m happy to say: it absolutely delivered. From the very first page, this book hooks you in. The pacing is fast, the tension constant, and the twists keep you guessing — especially when it comes to trust. For the first 100 pages, I found myself second-guessing nearly every character’s intentions, which made it impossible to put down. One of the things I appreciate most is how easy it is to follow, even with new characters being introduced. In fantasy books, that’s a rare and welcome trait. And while Kalan’s and Freya’s chemistry still simmers, the focus shifts more toward the plot — rich, layered, and full of political intrigue and danger — which made the story even more compelling. A word of advice? Don’t get too attached to anyone. The emotional stakes are high, and your heart rate will thank (or curse) you later. And then there’s that cliffhanger. Let’s just say, the countdown to the next book has already begun.” – Runexo, early reviewer
“I devoured Book 1 of Fae of Skye, but A Court by Birthright? This book? It sunk its claws into my heart, whispered “mine,” and didn’t let go. From the moment I opened the first page, I was right back in that deliciously dangerous fae world—dark forests, ancient spells, magic with a price—and I was so ready to see what Freya would do next. And oh, did she not disappoint. She’s fierce. She’s torn between love and duty…I was holding my breath, page after page.” – Rebel Lee on Amazon
“A Surprisingly Immersive Fantasy — Even for a Newcomer: Coming into A Court by Birthright without reading A Court of Fae, I expected to feel a little lost—but instead, I was swept up. Reut Barak’s writing style is atmospheric and emotional, and the narrative unfolds in a way that lets you find your footing quickly, even without all the background.” – Lilith’s Library, on Amazon
“It shows how relationships even fated ones can have frayed threads and difficulties. Freya is in the process of doing what she feels is right versus what people expect of her.” – Sandra Rene, early reviewer.
“Full of love, betrayal, jealousy etc. It’s a good mix of Seelie, Unseelie and a bit of the human realm. Lot’s of different types of magic as well as physical abilities.” – Diana Page, on Amazon
“I really enjoyed this second book in a new series that I can not get enough of. These two and everything that they have to face both alone from each other and together, kept me glued to this engaging story. I Loved It and I am excited for what comes next!!! I Highly Recommend!! No Spoilers!” – sissyj59 on Amazon
