The Shadow Heir [Special Edition]

Secrets of the Fae
$45.00

He’s the prince of shadows, bound to do the will of his court. She’s about to shatter the darkness.

On Zara’s twentieth birthday, she expected to be married to the love of her life, not stolen by the Shadow Prince and hurled into a world where death awaits her at every turn. For one year she will be forced to endure dangerous trials intended to entertain the fae.

Determined to do whatever it takes to survive and return to her home, Zara seeks an escape, but what she never expects is to find herself indebted to the Shadow Prince himself.

As Zara teams up with the one person she never wanted to trust, she quickly realizes that there’s more danger in the fae court than she first knew, and her life isn’t the only one on the line. As her opinion of the fae prince begins to change, Zara must make a choice: trust her enemy or let darkness win.

She has vowed to survive the trials meant to kill her, but who will save her heart from an unexpected love that threatens to break her?

The Shadow Heir is a standalone fantasy romance perfect for readers who enjoy swoony romance without the spice, dual POV forbidden love, and super slow burn enemies to lovers with banter that will make you squeal. It’s based on a gender-swapped version of the Spanish fairytale, “The Prince Fernando" and will delight readers who enjoyed Once Upon a Broken Heart and Prince of the Doomed City.

The Secrets of the Fae series contains standalone fantasy romance novels that can be read in any order. Events in The Shadow Heir take place right after the events in The Starlit Prince, but you can start with either book. Each book promises a hard-won happily ever after.

*This is a signed special edition with sprayed edges!

THIS BOOK WILL NOT SHIP UNTIL DECEMBER.

“You think getting married will break the bargain?” he asked, his voice low and threatening.

At that moment, he released me into a spin. When I slammed into his grip once more, my heart drummed against my ribs.

“Yes,” I spat back. “The stories all say love breaks curses.”

Without missing a step, he tilted his head back and laughed. Doubt clamped around my lungs, pushing out all my air.

“Getting married will not save you from your fate. It will only leave that man a widower. For I will take you, married or not. Better to let him avoid that, don’t you think?”

The word widower sat heavy on my chest, making it difficult to breathe. My feet missed a step of the dance, and Casimiro’s chest bumped against mine.

“Will your father kill me?” I managed to ask.

Casimiro’s eyes darkened. “No. That is not his job.”

As my fear rose, the prince’s hold on me tightened, not allowing me to miss another step. And it seemed that no one in the room—my betrothed included—felt bold enough to cut in on my dance with the fae prince. “But you said—then whose job is it?” I blurted out.

“Mine.”
