Shadow of the Prince
"A fantastical cross between the Beauty and the Beast and ACOTAR." A prince, a witch, and a wolf are tied together by the sins of their parents. Can they break free of the secrets that bind them, or will the Kingdom of Eidas forever be under a terrible curse? Dalia Leary, the eighteen-year-old daughter of an outcast Seer and a downtrodden merchant, lives in a city steeped in lore and magic, where the gods rule the seasons and the noble half-bloods rule the people. The kingdom of Eidas is down on its luck, facing mass starvation and economic failure from prolonged droughts. Dal's mother seems certain that there is a strange, simple solution to both their problems and those of Eidas'. Dal just has to marry the Prince of Eidas, Prince Tullvomm. Easy, right? Of course not. The Prince is nearly ten years her senior, and engaged to be married to the beautiful Princess of the East. She is nothing more besides a common girl from Bridgewater Avenue. Besides the obvious issues of his princess fiancée and her very un-noble birth, there's one other small little problem - Prince Tullvomm is never seen without his pitch-black wolf at his side - his beastly protector. The more Dal tries to get close to the Prince, the more the ghastly wolf seems to always get in the way. Dal realizes that to get access to the Prince she must either befriend the beast or slay him, and though part dog he may be, the beast doesn't seem the type to lie down and roll over. In fact, the more time Dal spends around the creature the less sure she is that he is a dog at all.Complete

Shadows of Uncertainty
(A fast-paced romance, made to be the prequel for Shadows of Ruin) the second book is better. 𝐄𝐈𝐑𝐋𝐘𝐒 Eirlys was a blade shaped by bloodline and burden-the only daughter of the empire's ex-Grand General, trained in silence, raised for war. At twenty-one, she was steel wrapped in stillness, a killer with frost in her veins and legacy on her shoulders. She didn't flinch. She didn't falter. Her presence wasn't loud, but it rang like cold metal through a room. People didn't just fear her-they obeyed her. 𝐂𝐀𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐄 Catherine was chaos dressed in beauty. A smile that disarmed, a laugh that misled. Twenty years old and deadlier than her softness let on-the last heir to a bloodstained dynasty of assassins. Where Eirlys struck with precision, Catherine struck with surprise. She was fire to Eirlys's ice, venom to her blade, the storm hidden beneath the bloom. 𝐂𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐔𝐒 Until an unmarked island turned legend into survival. Alone. Surrounded. Hunted. The question was no longer how to kill-but how to stay alive long enough to trust. To want. To need. And whether that want would be their undoing. 𝐄𝐏𝐈𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐏𝐇 There was another war brewing-quieter, crueler, beneath the surface of her skin. Him. A man made of storms and stillness, who looked at her not as a weapon-but as a woman who'd never been allowed to feel. And for the first time, Eirlys-who knew every way to kill a man-wondered if love was the most dangerous one. 𝐈𝐅 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄: • Warrior heroines with haunted pasts and sharpened hearts • Female leads who are lethal, layered, and unforgettable • Knife-edge tension, survival, and slow-burning desire • Buried softness, and reluctant trust Then you'll want to follow them into the dark.Complete
HEIR | The Cursed Monarchy | Book 1
~ COMPLETE AND NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON ~ In the Five Kingdoms of Saol Eile, magic is the only currency and those who have the most cast long shadows across the land. Amidst lavish parties, sumptuous banquets, and sprawling castles, despicable tyrants have risen, calling themselves kings by right; emperors, by the laws of old magic, and monarchs, by the wealth they've procured. When it's rumored that an army of flesh-eating monsters has risen from the shadows, tyrant-kings are forced to submit to a far more dangerous power - the sorcerer standing at the head of it all: The Cursed One. Orphaned and penniless, eighteen-year-old Cecily Trask's magic has always been reluctant to emerge. But with the kingdoms at the brink of war, she vows to do whatever it takes to keep her people safe-even if it means breaking all the rules, reaching into the depths of her soul to unravel the bindings around her true power, and allying with the potentially dangerous prince, Daire Niadh, to do it. In a landscape thick with mistrust, desire, and incipient hope, Cecily and Daire cross paths in an unfamiliar world forever changed by violent forces neither of them understand. They should hate each other. They should want each other dead. But their grief both draws them together and breaks them down, until all they have left is their shared goal - to defeat The Cursed One, even though for Cecily, the journey means almost certain death. ❧ Copyright © Marcella Colavecchio, 2014 - 2020.Complete
Veiled in Light and Ruin
Every year, Lyra's village gathers beneath the ancient statues of the Fates, offering prayers and sacrifices to keep the creeping darkness at bay. The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood. And some fates are meant to be broken.
