Captive to the Shadow Prince (Monsters of Faery #6)
Mallory Dunlin
My answer to being kidnapped by a fae prince? A knife to his throat.
Falling into another world and getting captured by an arrogant, shadow-wielding fae prince wasn't on my to-do list. Neither was being told I’m his soulmate, or discovering that behind the glamor of a beautiful, violet-haired prince stood a seven-foot-tall winged beast.
Stabbing him seemed like the best option.
But the Prince of Shadows needs to be betrothed to avoid being sold to a goddess by his father, and he's desperate enough to make a deal: access to the glittering world of the fae nobility in return for pretending to be his devoted mate.
He's a liar. A traitor. A man designed to be a weapon of the gods—and a passionate, complicated male whose pretenses of affection feel all too real. If I surrender to his darkness, I know there's no coming back.
Every day draws us closer to the celestial alignment that will turn my prince into a force of destruction unlike anything Faery has ever seen. In the game of gods and monsters, all the pieces are on the board, and I’m the unexpected player. Only one question remains:
Will my soulmate’s shadows be there to catch me when I fall?
Or am I only a pawn in his game?
"Captive to the Shadow Prince" is a complete romance with a guaranteed happily-ever-after. As the series finale, it is best read after the other books; a preface with a summary of the major players and events of the prior books is included as a refresher or for first-time readers. This steamy fated mates romance features a morally gray shadow daddy and an academic determined to get her way.
