A dark bet between kings…
My father sold me out to the Shadow King. He made a reckless deal to save my mother, and I must pay the price, forced to live in Faerie with king Damian and his sinful court.
Now, I must learn to protect myself from the nightmares, dreams, and fantasies that govern this mysterious land.
I shall not flee.
I shall not give in.
I shall endure.
If I don’t, my kingdom will fall.
The shadow court is in ruins, and its king, too…
Nothing will get in the way of my duty, not even a witty, flawless beauty like Penelope Darcy.
The rules of the curse are simple.
1. We never take off our masks.
2. We avoid unnecessary contact with the High Fae.
3. We don’t keep secrets from each other.
For her, I'd break all three.
But I’ve got to win that wretched bet, even if I have to chop that princess into little pieces and feast on what’s left of her soul to achieve it.
This book is a full-length fantasy romance with a happy ending, and though it's part of a series, it stands alone.
Beauty and the Beast and Hades and Persephone collide in this enemies-to-lovers, forced-proximity fantasy romance. Sprinkles of grumpy-sunshine thrown in. The mysterious Shadow King is hot as sin, and the secrets of his world will bring any mortals to their knees. Slow-burn. 18+.
The series
Step into a world where the boundaries between the mortal realm and the fae courts are as thin as a whispered promise. Curse of the Fae is a dark and intoxicating series where magic, betrayal, and forbidden love intertwine, each story deeper and more dangerous than the last.
Read full series description
From the moment you enter the realm of the Shadow King, you’re drawn into a web of intrigue, where power isn’t just a possession—it’s a dangerous, seductive force. In A Deal with the Shadow King, Penelope Darcy is thrust into a world she doesn’t understand, caught between mortal desire and the shadowy power of a king who holds her fate in his hands. Their relationship is one of intense longing and painful secrets, where every choice could either save or shatter them.
The series continues with A Bride for the Winter King, where love is both a curse and a weapon. Here, a huntress finds herself wrapped in the ghosts of past queens, destined to play a dangerous game with a king who can never escape his haunted past. As the Yule pageant grows darker and the stakes higher, it becomes clear that in the fae world, nothing—least of all love—is ever truly as it seems.
In The Prince from a Cruel Summer, the echoes of a love that never truly ended are heard once more, as Elizabeth Snow confronts a past she thought was lost forever. Old wounds reopen, and the fiery passion between her and a prince who once betrayed her threatens to destroy everything they both hold dear. In the fae courts, where curses are eternal and time itself bends to the whims of magic, some flames are too dangerous to extinguish.
What makes Curse of the Fae unforgettable isn’t just the romance—it’s the way the series explores the complexity of fate, identity, and the choices that bind us. Each book is a dance of power, passion, and pain, where no one is safe and love could either break you or bind you forever. With its lush world-building, richly developed characters, and an atmosphere that pulses with danger, Curse of the Fae is a journey into a world that feels both timeless and immediate, where the fae are not just creatures of legend, but living, breathing forces with their own desires and consequences.
If you’re drawn to stories that blur the lines between light and dark, where every choice matters, and love is both the greatest gift and the deadliest curse, then the Curse of the Fae series is waiting to pull you in—one spellbinding chapter at a time.
