The Halfwit Prince's Revenge

A Cinderella Retelling

By: R.C. Matthews

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

She saved me from Death’s touch, and together we will destroy him…
My men were slaughtered. My shoulder became a festering wound. My kingdom embraced my enemy. Defeat is not in my nature, but if not for the healer in the forest, I would’ve succumbed to it. She restored my health, but only one thing will end my shame: to destroy the Deadly Knight. No one wants it more…except, perhaps, the gifted healer. Elaine would lay down her life to see his end, but when the moment comes, can I let her?

Our vengeance unites us, but our stations keep us apart…
I was born with little more than the love of a humble father. Even that was ripped from me when the Deadly Knight invaded our lands and obliterated our army, leaving my father among the fallen. Since then, the threat of his death touch on my skin has kept my powers prisoner to his queen’s demands. But no more! Death has abandoned the queen, and his wife will bear a child destined to end eternal winter. The child must be kept alive, but not its father. With Prince Marcus as my ally, we can crush Death once and for all, but at a greater cost than I imagined. I expected to lose my life in the undertaking...but not my heart.

After our well-laid plans go terribly awry, our only hope lies in convincing a loyal vassal to betray his queen and hoist the Black Wolf’s banner at the head of the Crimson Insurrection.

The Halfwit Prince’s Revenge is the nail-biting third book in the Spring of Beimeni fairy tale series. If you love high-stakes adventure and doomed-from-the-onset romance, then you’ll love R.C. Matthews’ dark fantasy.
