A spirited princess. A cursed king. A forbidden love that could ruin or save them both.

My father sold me to the Shadow King.

Faerie is a completely different world than the one I'm used to. Winged creatures fly in and out of mirrors, and fantastical gardens conceal treacherous illusions.

Shadows draw me in a little more for each day my magic grows, but I can't afford to let my guard down.

To survive, I must play by the king's rules and protect myself from the nightmares, dreams, and fantasies that govern his seductive realm. Most of all, I must resist him.

If I don't, my kingdom will fall.

Nothing will get in the way of my duty, not even a witty beauty like Penelope Darcy.

The Shadow Court is in ruins. The rules of the curse are simple—they draw our enemies away and keep us safe.

She can't know my secret.

But I'm hungry for her.

This novel is a full-length romantasy with a happy ending for our main couple. It's part of an interconnected series with a story arc spanning across multiple books, but each book will feature a different romance and a new couple.

Beauty and the Beast and Hades and Persephone collide in this enemies-to-lovers, forced-proximity, slow-burn romance perfect for fans of ACOTAR, Fourth Wing, and The Ever King. This MF series is perfect if you love feisty, magic heroines; morally gray, broody heroes; curses and secrets; and dual POVs. For mature listeners.

I came across the series while looking for more of A. Palmini work. At first I found the story dragging as I was waiting for the MMC's POV but by then I was hooked on the story. I liked the plot, rich world and plot twists that I didn't figure out until the very last moment. I like the fact that the FMCs are not meak damsels but witty and strong women. Despite the patriarchal world. I am writing this review after finishing the 4th book in the series and now have to wait for book 5 to come out in 2 months, They are well-written with a good balance of action, story and spice. There is more of a backstory about Damian in book 3. The series is totally worth reading till the end. I inhaled all 4 books within a few days of starting, Had to go on KU for book 3 and 4 to match my reading speed but will get the audiobooks after I get more credits.

Hidden gem
