Beschreibung des Verlags
For fans of The Bridge Kingdom and A Deal with the Elf King, this sweeping tale of love and betrayal is equal blends sweet and spice.
A TREACHEROUS BRIDE.
A HEARTBROKEN GROOM
IS THEIR MARRIAGE OVER BEFORE IT'S BEGUN?
Her deceit discovered, Faraine finds herself trapped in the Shadow Realm at the mercy of her new husband. She's surrounded by enemies, far from any allies, and her best bet for survival is to convince Vor to send her home.
But to do so means to give up on the alliance. Which would spell disaster for her people. With the tremors growing worse and poison spreading through his realm, Vor is more desperate than ever to find a solution. Only, it cannot involve his wife. Vor wants nothing to do with the woman he has inadvertently married. At one time, he thought he might love her, but now? How can love flourish where trust is broken?
When circumstances require them to spend more time together, however, Vor's blood is stirred in ways he doesn't like to acknowledge.
Can two lost hearts find healing and hope in one another? Or is their love already poisoned beyond recovery?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Picking up immediately after the events of Mercedes's Bride of the Shadow King and paying quiet homage to the Hades and Persephone myth, this captivating romantasy brings readers to the underground kingdom of Mythanar. Still a pawn in her father's ever-growing war with the fae, heroine Faraine finds herself both a prisoner of the shadow realm governed by her new husband, Vor, and drawn into its politics. As governmental disputes and fanatical religious movements rock the new couple's nascent relationship, the pair must find a way to trust each other if they hope to survive the volatile court. Meanwhile, Faraine's gods-gift, which was debilitating in the human realm, begins to evolve in her new home in ways that confound, and an unknown poison is affecting mythical creatures. Epic, bloody battles pave the way for character growth throughout, and readers will fall in love with the expanded secondary cast, including Vor's brother, Sul, and his trusted guard, Hael. Mercedes skillfully unfolds the mysteries of Mythanar but leaves the answers to come. Readers will be on the edges of their seats.
