The Soulless PrinceA Tam'lin Retelling
A magical dream-world. A soulless prince. And a crazy, cat-lady on a mission.
Tabitha Brewer has always had a thing for cats. They became her family after leaving her previous life as a poor, neglected street urchin. And when one of the quirky creative’s beloved strays goes missing—right after she learns he was an enchanted prince—she can’t get him out of her mind or her dreams.
But when parts of her dreams bleed into the waking world, Tabitha realizes that the only way to rescue her former feline companion is to leave her home at the second-hand dress-shop behind and step into a faerie realm filled with every single danger she could possibly imagine.
And Tabitha has always had an exceptional imagination.
Can an eccentric, shut-in with far too many cats defeat a powerful fae queen, return the heart and soul of her kingdom’s stolen prince, and build a love with someone without whiskers? Or will she lose herself to a magical dream-world just as deadly as her own imagination?
The Soulless Prince is a clean romantic and comedic fantasy inspired by Tam’lin and other fairytales. It is meant to be read after The Shoeless Prince, revisiting and expanding the ending of that story with fresh new details as told from an alternative character perspective.
TW: Past trauma and other more mature topics that were only briefly alluded to in Shoeless are confirmed and more openly discussed here. Nothing is shown “on page,” maintaining the same humor, clean/sweet romance, and happily-ever-after ending found in Shoeless.

Jacque Stevens has always been drawn to stories where shadows hold secrets and love has to fight to survive. Long before she became a USA Today bestselling author, she was a nursing student scribbling chapters between shifts, escaping into worlds filled with fae bargains, broken crowns, and the kind of magic that comes at a cost. What began as a quiet act of relief soon grew into a passion that shaped her life and an entire library of fantasy retellings that breathe new life into old legends.

Reviews and Comments
I was really glad to get to read more about Tabitha and Tom (AKA: Prince Leopold / Leo / Tam'lin) after getting to know them a bit in The Shoeless Prince: A Puss in Boots Retelling. This is my first Retelling of Tam'lin and I thought it was an enjoyable story overall and it was also interesting to see The Little Match Girl & Hansel and Gretel touched upon in this story. The epilogue at the end was also really good. I look forward to read more stories from both the Borderland Fairytale series in the future.
I received a free advanced reader copy of this book from the author and am voluntarily leaving a review.
