A Kingdom This Cursed and Empty
In a world darkened by deceit, the truth is a light that won’t be dimmed—even when it illuminates Lorian’s betrayals more starkly than I could ever want to see. They call him the Bloodthirsty Prince. His reign of terror has left a trail of blood across this continent, a trail that intertwines with my own past—not even my parents were spared from his merciless slaughter.
To save my brother’s life, I agreed to another bargain with the fae prince. Now, I’m forced to work with him, to travel to the fae lands, to spend my every waking moment with the man who betrayed me. All because King Sabium has woven a deadly tapestry of manipulation, using those we least suspect for his wicked schemes.
There are no lines I won’t cross to protect the people I love. So I’ll work with former enemies. I’ll manipulate, blackmail, and deceive potential allies.
I’ll swallow my pride, bury my shattered heart, and cooperate with the fae to prepare for the coming war. Because there are creatures far more monstrous than the fae—and some of them masquerade as men. Book two of this slow-burn enemies-to-lovers series will enchant fans of fantasy romance who love Raven Kennedy, Amanda Bouchet, and Carissa Broadbent.

THAT ENDING, IM SCREAMING. I am definitely invested in this series now. I was hoping we would have been able to see the fmc even more powerful by this point but she’s growing in other ways. There are still some moments filled with self doubt that make me want to scream at her but it’s understandable with everything that she has been through. I asked for even more pining and obsessing from Lorian and boy did I ever receive it. I adored him so much in this. The extra POVs added were interesting at times but I felt like they were too long, I really just wanted to get back to our main characters. I need the next one IMMEDIATELY. Feeling stressed, I was sensing part of that ending because things were really starting to seem off but I am so not a fan and I really hope there is a way out of this. 🌶️ 3/5 Spice felt on the same level as last book, I enjoyed it but I just keep feeling like something is missing. but I love these characters and their relationship.
