The Crestfallen Kingdom sits on the rim of a dying sea, ruled by magic-steeped bloodlines.
Centuries ago a seer bound the Morcant line to guard the Valmont heirs-an oath that mutates into lethal obsession if ever the protector's heart wavers. When the spell cracks, it doesn't kill the bodyguard...it unchains him.
*...war, betrayal, midnight bargains, and a final choice between kingdom and ruinous love.

The Cursed Prince
In a kingdom where curses are more than mere fairy tales, an ancient castle stands hidden behind walls of dark thorns, forgotten by all but the bravest and the most foolish. For within those shadowed halls slumbers a prince cursed by his own heart's betrayal. Once a ruler feared for his power and beauty, he now lies in a spellbound sleep, imprisoned by a vengeful sorceress who demanded a price for his cruelty: eternal rest, unless someone awakens him and binds their fate to his. Mira has never believed in fairy tales. Life in her village is one of harsh reality, where survival depends on wit and willpower. But when her family's future hangs in the balance, she's driven to the one place her people have always feared. Rumors of a sleeping prince and a curse that can be broken are all she has to go on, yet desperation leaves her no choice. But awakening the prince sets a far greater plan in motion, and the darkness she thought she'd face is only the beginning. Now, bound to a prince whose shadows dance with danger and desire, Mira must learn to navigate a world of magic, betrayal, and a fate that pulls them both toward something neither can escape. The only question is, who will break first-the girl with fire in her veins or the prince whose heart has long since turned to stone?Complete

"I'd love to watch her try." ------------------------------- Soraya Cordova was never meant to survive.
