Steel and Stone: The Curse of the Stone Keep (Cursed Kingdoms #2)

A princess with a secret and a cursed kingdom to save. A mysterious illness has decimated the kingdom of Stonewall, snatching the king and queen’s lives. The barren Stone Keep is left in Princess Aurora’s hands, sustained only by the Steelborn’s coffers. But Aurora wants more than her kingdom’s survival. And to lift the curse that burdens her kingdom, she must dive into the Netherworld and beg for the Dark Prince's help. The catch is, none who’s traveled to the Realm of Death has ever made it back. Can she outwit the Dark Prince, and escape his island? And given the chance, will she want to? A broken prince striving to risk it all in the name of true love. When Aurora broke Prince Phillip’s heart, he vowed never to set foot in the Stone Keep. But when a coup rises against the crown of Whitehaven, the threat of war reopens his old wounds. Phillip must warn the kingdom of Stonewall. Chaos ensues upon his arrival as Princess Aurora is dragged to the Netherworld, kidnapped by a dark god. To rescue the princess, Phillip will need his captain’s help, as they plunge into a journey riddled with dangers—the worst of which is facing the Lord of the Netherworld himself. Will Phillip’s valiant heart conquer Aurora's and defeat the god of death? Steel and Stone is the second book in the Cursed Kingdom series, packed with old gods, valiant heroes, and morally grey heroines.

Fur and Thorns "I loved this book! I’m so sad it’s over. A gripping tale from the start, this was a fantastic twist on Snow White. You’ll find lots of daring adventure, friendship, and romance. There’s even some overlap and mention of familiar characters from other fairytales!
Luckily this is the first book in the series and more will come!" Bookbub Reviewer "T his was a true roller-coaster ride of emotions for me. One minute your down then you're up. It has drama, intrigue, sexual tension, and some giggles and even though it does have a HEA, it's bittersweet. This was a fantastic read and I'm so glad I gave it a shot! It's just as good as Silvana Sánchez's Unnatural Brethren series and her Vesely Academy series." Goodreads Reviewer "I really enjoyed this book. One of the things I always look for is well-developed characters and I felt that these characters had depth and personality. I liked their interactions and they felt real. The story was interesting and believable. It made me want more. I can’t wait for the next book in the series!" Goodreads Reviewer "Wow - this is an interesting Snow White retelling with a morally grey female main character in Maleath Snow, The Seven - mages, not dwarves, a mystery guy, and of course the Evil Queen and her Huntsman."
