Our favourite fairy tales take a turn for the decidedly wicked in the second book in this viral TikTok sensation about sexy modern villains getting their due.

Once upon a time, I was a prince.

A single night with Megaera and I'm willing to do anything to save her from Hades, the man holding her captive, victim to his every whim. A bargain with the devil himself seems a small price to pay in order for Megaera to go free... Until I learn that she's exactly where she wants to be.

She's Queen to Hades's King.

And I'm the fool that walked right into their trap. The same fool who desires them both as much as I hate them. I can't resist Megaera's touch—or stop from being drawn to Hades's dark desires. By the time I realise just how deep a game he's playing, it may be too late... For all of us.
