Bartered by the Shadow Prince

Love makes monsters of us all.

Descend to the Darklands.

Walk the shadowpath.

Pray the goddess shows you mercy.

Power requires sacrifice.

I promised Eloise a crown. After hundreds of years of fighting and sacrifice, I swore I'd make her a princess and give her the peaceful life she deserves. But when I return to claim my throne, I find my brother sitting on it instead-with no intention of stepping aside.

I'm trapped between the vow I made and the kingdom I've lost. Stay silent and keep the peace I promised Eloise but watch her fade as she struggles to reconnect with her magic in a realm that doesn't want us. Or reclaim what's mine and drag the woman I love into yet another battle.

I choose peace. I choose her happiness over the fate of my kingdom. For her, I'd let the whole world burn.

Until Eloise vanishes.

Now, there's no choice left. To save my mate, I'll have to become the monster she fell in love with, a warrior who will stop at nothing to reclaim what's mine.

Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Kerri Maniscalco, and Scarlett St. Clair who adore fated mates, political intrigue, forbidden magic, steamy tension, and high-stakes romantic fantasy.
