BookTok sensation and USA Today bestselling author Catharina Maura delivers an original sequel to her enthralling romantasy, A Curse of Shadows and Ice.
A cursed prince. A forgotten love. A marriage that could save two kingdoms―or destroy them.
Lycan prince Raphael awakens from a curse, surrounded by his mortal enemies―and with no memory of the witch whose violet eyes hold a grief he cannot understand. Once, Elaine of Leriata was his beloved. Now he sees only a dangerous enemy. But with war between wolves and witches poised to destroy both kingdoms, there is only one path to peace: Raphael and Elaine must marry and unite their countries.
Elaine has already lost the man she loves once. She will not let his curse erase what they shared―or shatter the fragile alliance their people need to survive. Yet as Raphael’s suspicion deepens, so does the pull of a bond he cannot explain. His mind may reject her, but his wolf recognizes her as its mate.
To end the war and reclaim their love, they must stand together to overcome the forces that turned fated lovers into enemies.
The series
Catharina Maura’s The Shadowbound Series is a romantic fantasy of ancient curses, forbidden magic, and love caught between rival kingdoms. The story begins with Princess Arabella of Althea, whose future is decided when Felix Osiris, the feared Shadow Emperor, threatens her homeland unless she agrees to become his wife. But beyond his intimidating reputation lies an empire trapped beneath a terrible curse, and Arabella may possess the very magic needed to break it.
Read full series description
Forced into an uneasy alliance, Arabella and Felix must navigate dangerous secrets, shifting loyalties, and feelings neither expected. Their marriage begins as a bargain born of necessity, but the closer they come to understanding each other, the harder it becomes to separate duty from desire.
Drawing on the familiar enchantment of Beauty and the Beast, the series expands into a world of witches, supernatural rulers, lost memories, and kingdoms threatened by war. At its heart are characters whose greatest struggles are not simply against curses or enemies, but against the sacrifices demanded by love and the weight of their own destinies.
