Perfect for fans of A Court of Silver Flames, The Bridge Kingdom, and King of Battle & Blood, Slaying the Shadow Prince is an epic fantasy romance with enemies to lovers, scorching spice, and a richly woven world of magic… In a realm on the brink of destruction, evil forces snatch innocents to suffer fates worse than death. Only a monster hunter and her monstrous enemy can stop them. Drue Emmerson, noblewoman-turned-ranger, wants one thing: vengeance. With her family slain by the vicious shadow wraiths, she’s determined to defend her fallen kingdom. And that means carving out the hearts of every dark creature she can find. Talemir Starling, celebrated warrior of the realms, has a dangerous secret: he's a half-wraith, kin to the creatures wreaking devastation on the world. He’ll do anything to keep his true nature under control… especially around the woman who’s vowed to destroy him. When someone Drue cares about disappears, all signs point to Talemir’s kind. But he’s determined to prove he’s no monster, and to seek answers of his own. Begrudgingly, the pair must join forces to uncover the deadly truth. But in a world of chaos and carnage, where danger lurks at every turn, deadlier still is their attraction to one another – the one thing that might just spell the end of them both. Will Talemir win Drue’s heart? Or will she carve his out before the end? Slaying the Shadow Prince is a standalone fantasy romance and if you like fiery heroines and tortured heroes, as well as forced proximity, found family and touch-her-and-you-die vibes, you will devour this sexy, addictive fantasy romance.
In this prequel to the *The Mortal Fates* series, a young warrior named Thea is tasked with killing the Shadow Prince, a powerful fae ruler, to save her kingdom from a deadly curse. As she infiltrates his court and gets closer to her target, she discovers that the truth about the prince and the war between their realms is far more complicated than she was led to believe. Their initial enmity evolves into a complex alliance as they are forced to confront a greater, shared threat.
