Prince of Secrets & Shadows

Cursed Fae Courts, Book 2

By: Heather Hildenbrand

Narrated by: Savannah Rivers

Betrayed by the prince I loved. Hunted by the crown I destroyed.

I escaped one corrupt kingdom only to become a prisoner to another—traded away like a bargaining chip by the fae prince I trusted most. All while my people still sleep under the Winter Queen’s curse.

Now Callan sits on Autumn’s throne with vengeance in his veins and a bounty on my head. The boy I once knew is gone, replaced by a ruler willing to burn the world to find me.

And Rydian…The warrior prince who swore to protect me now keeps his distance, haunted by secrets he refuses to share. He saved my life, yet every time our eyes meet, something dangerous sparks between us—something fierce enough to unravel the careful alliances keeping me alive.

In a court built on lies and ancient magic, I must navigate deadly politics, masked enemies, and the whispers of a prophecy tying my fate to two rival heirs.

One prince wants my loyalty.

The other wants my heart.

Both may be the death of me.

But to save my kingdom—and myself—I’ll have to embrace the power that’s been awakening inside me… even if it turns me into the monster they all fear.

In this deadly fae romantasy of curses, court intrigue, and forbidden longing, trust is a luxury, love is a battlefield, and the truth may be the sharpest blade of all. Perfect for fans of slow-burn enemies-to-lovers, morally gray fae princes, political betrayal, and touch her and unalive energy.
