Princess of Curses & CroaksA No-Spice, Enemies-to-Lovers Fairy Tale Retelling

The Seasons of Magic #2 / 2
by Victoria Benty
Princess of Curses & Croaks: A No-Spice, Enemies-to-Lovers Fairy Tale Retelling (The Seasons of Magic #2) by Victoria Benty
Unrated

An opinionated chambermaid. An arrogant prince. A dangerous magic between them.

After her father's death, Lyra keeps her head down in the royal palace, suppressing the strange powers she barely understands. Her father believed her simple textile magic could make her more than a servant. Lyra knows better.

Until one late night in the palace gardens, she meets Prince Thomas.

Prideful, privileged, and infuriatingly clever, Thomas embodies everything Lyra resents about the upper class she serves. Yet their late-night encounters awaken her long-buried desire to train in magic. And when the prince himself offers to teach her for a trade, Lyra can’t resist the chance to become something more.

As the secret lessons stretch into months, Lyra’s magic proves more powerful and dangerous than she expected. With a mysterious plague spreading across the kingdom and unrest brewing among noble families, Lyra is forced to choose between the life she’s always known and the prince who threatens to upend her entire world.

Will she dare to risk her heart—and the life she'd planned to settle for—to save the prince she once hated?

Pride and Prejudice meets The Frog Prince in this banter-filled, clean YA fairy tale retelling.

Also known as Princess of Cinders & Secrets Book 2.
