--
The gods sent monsters to the five kingdoms to remind mortals they must kneel.
I’ve spent my life kneeling to their will and to my father's. As a princess, my only duty is to wear the crown and obey the king.
I was never meant to rule. Never meant to fight. And I was never supposed to be the daughter who sealed an ancient treaty with her own blood.
But that changed the fateful day I stepped into my father’s throne room. The day a legendary monster hunter sailed to our shores. The day a prince ruined my life.
Now I’m crossing treacherous lands beside a warrior who despises me as much as I despise him bound to a future I didn’t choose and a husband I barely know.
Everyone wants me to be something I’m not a queen, a spy, a sacrifice.
But what if I refused the role chosen for me? What if I made my own rules? What if there’s power in being underestimated?
And what if for the first time I reached for it?

Contemporary and fantasy romance novels exploring emotional relationships, small-town dynamics, and second-chance bonds form the heart of a prolific romance catalog spanning over forty published books. Devney Perry transitioned to full-time fiction writing after spending nearly a decade working in the technology industry, exchanging corporate conference calls and project schedules for story development and family life.
Her fiction frequently draws inspiration from her personal roots in the Pacific Northwest and Rocky Mountain region. By setting many of her narrative arcs in small-town environments and western landscapes, Perry delivers immersive romantic narratives that connect strongly with contemporary romance readers.
Born and raised in Montana, Perry developed an early appreciation for regional settings that later became central to her narrative backdrops. Before embarking on her author career, she spent nearly ten years working in corporate technology. Deciding to trade tech industry conference calls for full-time creative writing, she published her debut fiction and gradually expanded her published works into a library of over fifty romance novels. Her titles have earned commercial recognition on the New York Times, USA Today, and Amazon bestseller lists. She resides in Washington state with her husband and two sons while continuing to write romance fiction.
Perry's storytelling centers on deep character connections, emotional vulnerability, second chances, and the comforting atmosphere of close-knit communities. Her books frequently highlight scenic Montana settings and small-town dynamics, balancing romantic tension with grounded, relatable interpersonal relationships. In addition to contemporary romance, her bibliography includes fantasy romance titles that weave romantic plotlines into imaginative world-building and high-stakes tension.
