Curse of Blood and Shadow

Allied Kingdoms Academy, Book 1

By: J. M. Kearl

Narrated by: Allie Rose

A princess with a dark curse, and a rival prince determined to steal her heart.

Visteal was born a cursed princess able to foresee the death of those around her with a touch. As the heir of a warrior kingdom, she's sent to train in weapons and magic at the new academy with her rivals. Dangerous, deadly, and ferocious could describe any of the students there, her included.

It isn't long before Visteal foresees the death of a student and realizes bloodthirsty creatures roam in the academy's stone walls. Visteal becomes a target and teaming up with an old enemy, the arrogant Prince Zyacus may be her best bet to survive.

Fighting on the same side turns into fighting a desire they never wanted. But death and destruction will crash down on their budding feelings if they can't stop this new enemy.
