A Crown Splendid and Shattered

Captive to the Beast…

The Kingdom of Avrandar believes I’m dead.

I thought it was the end as well until I awoke in an unfamiliar castle far from home. After being crushed in a dragon’s talons, it’s a miracle I’m still alive.

And then I learn the bad news. My host, my savior, is none other than my archenemy, the man I thought I loved—until he betrayed me.

Pharis Randalin.

The powerful Fae prince is back to being growly and secretive, and now I know better than to fall for his wicked charm and dangerous allure ever again.

Trapped on his remote estate by his arduous “conditions” for release, I dream of the day I can return to my family—and the gentle and kind Crown Prince who loves me.

I know Stellon is searching for me and that he’ll never stop.

And I do want to be found.
I think.

Though Pharis’ palace is my prison, it’s also full of wonders and unimaginable beauty. His doting staff spoils me and treats me like a princess.

And every once in a while during my captivity, I get a glimpse of the carefully concealed longing that simmers just beneath his guarded surface, and I wonder… could this beast be conquered?
