A Kingdom of Blood and Betrayal (Deluxe Edition) (Stars and Shadows, #2), by Holly Renee

Fated mates • Enemies to lovers • Forced marriage • Cursed fae prince • Forbidden desire

A fate bound to two princes, one born of blood, the other of power.

When a dark and dangerously alluring fae prince offers a bargain that could save his people and her life, she finds herself trapped in a union forged from revenge. He is her mate, but his lies cut deep, and his touch awakens a desire she cannot explain away. Bound by a curse that forces him to protect his people from his own family, he is a prince caught between duty and darkness, and she may be the key to saving his kingdom.

As betrayal blurs the line between enemy and lover, she must reckon with a bond she never asked for and a prince whose secrets could destroy them both. In a kingdom ruled by power, loyalty comes at a price, and the heart can be the most dangerous thing to surrender.

Dark, seductive, and charged with high-stakes fantasy, A Kingdom of Blood and Betrayal delivers an intoxicating mix of forbidden desire, dangerous magic, and complicated loyalties.
