Wow! I have to admit I expected the typical romantasy arc from this book, but it is so much more! There are so many twists and turns within this story, it kept me in its grip. I absolutely loved Faraine and Vor. Faraine desires to be so much more than the timid girl she sees herself to be. Vor wants to be a strong, yet kind, leader, but Faraire and the humans cannot be trusted and he has some really difficult decisions to make. Their relationship is so complicated at this point, but I’m rooting for them! I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book in this series.
I also loved that this edition included bonus material! I don’t want to give anything away, but it’s definitely worth the read.
ABOUT THE BOOK
The viral TikTok fantasy romance, now in a special print edition with exclusive bonus material!
An outcast princess makes a political marriage with a reluctant king to save both their kingdoms in this first book in the viral Bride of the Shadow King series.
Though she is the oldest daughter, Princess Faraine lives in the background, shunned from court and kept out of sight. She’s told her gods-gift makes her a liability to the crown, and has learned to give place to her beautiful, favored younger sister in all things.
When the handsome and enigmatic Shadow King comes seeking a bride, Faraine is not surprised that her sister is his choice.
King Vor is not eager to take a human bride, but he is willing to do what is necessary for the sake of his people. When he meets the lively Princess Ilsevel, he quickly agrees to a marriage arrangement.
So why can’t he get the haunting eyes of her older sister out of his head?
