Description

A monster hunter and her monstrous enemy . . .

From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Iron & Embers, Helen Scheuerer, The Shadow Prince is an epic fantasy romance with enemies to lovers, scorching spice, and a richly woven world of magic.

Drue Emmerson wants one thing: vengeance. With her family slain by vicious shadow wraiths, she's determined to defend her fallen kingdom. And that means carving out the hearts of every dark creature she can find.

Talemir Starling, celebrated warrior of the realms, has a dangerous secret: he's a half-wraith, kin to the creatures wreaking devastation on the world. He'll do anything to keep his true nature under control, especially around the woman who's vowed to destroy him.

When someone close to Drue disappears, all signs point to Talemir's kind. But he is determined to prove he's no monster, and to seek answers of his own. Begrudgingly, the pair must join forces to uncover the deadly truth.

In a world of chaos and carnage, their attraction to one another is the one thing that might just spell the end of them both . . .

Originally published as Slaying the Shadow Prince, this is a companion novel to the Legends of Thezmarr and the Ashes of Thezmarr series.
