Sarah J. Maas meets Rebecca Yarros in House of Shadows, the second book in the Royal Houses romantasy series, from the No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling author of The Wren in the Holly Library, K. A. Linde.

Description

House of Shadows by K. A. Linde follows the journey of Kerrigan Argon, a half-human, half-Fae, who has joined the Dragon Society despite the objections of many. She embarks on a year of training alongside her dragon.

First, Kerrigan must travel with the dark Fae prince, Fordham Ollivier, back to his home, the House of Shadows. A place where typically only slavery and death await a half-Fae in its halls.

However, something is amiss in their sinister realm. A thousand-year-old spell is weakening, causing cracks in the foundation. Kerrigan may become either their downfall or their saviour.

Introducing the Royal Houses series: the story of Kerrigan Argon, as she seeks her place in a harsh world brimming with magic, mayhem, and romance. A perfect read for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Holly Black, and Rebecca Yarros.

Discover the third heart-pounding book in the series, House of Curses.
