'With fascinating, interwoven plot lines and brewing romances, Beneath These Cursed Stars will have you flipping pages!!!' REBECCA YARROS
From the bestselling author Lexi Ryan comes a romantic fantasy in which a human princess and a fae shifter become unlikely allies when a mission to assassinate an evil king collides with a fatal prophecy.
When the stars promise ruin, will love be worth the risk?
Princess Jasalyn seeks revenge.
Armed with an enchanted ring bestowing death's kiss, she's been sneaking away at night to assassinate her enemies.
Felicity needs a miracle.
Fated to kill her father, she's been using her ability to shape-shift to evade a fatal prophecy.
But when rumours begin circling that the evil king Mordeus is still alive, Jasalyn teams up with the handsome Kendrick - a rebel once imprisoned alongside her. While Felicity must take Princess Jasalyn's form, and her place at court - drawing irresistibly closer to the Wild Fae King, Misha.
Soon, their mission is at risk right alongside their hearts.
The future of the human and fae realms hangs in the balance. Between perilous tasks, grim secrets, and forbidden romances, Jasalyn and Felicity find that perhaps their stars are the most cursed of all.

With fascinating, interwoven plot lines and brewing romances, Beneath These Cursed Stars will have you flipping pages this summer!!! * Rebecca Yarros, #1 NYT bestselling author of Fourth Wing * Sexy, surprising, and full of secrets. These Hollow Vows is a lot like the world of Faerie - seductive, enthralling, and dangerous. With two very different love interests, lots of heated moments, and a spectacular ending, this is the fantasy romance I have been craving! * Stephanie Garber on These Hollow Vows * A beautifully broken and epic fantasy that completely blew me way. Complete with twisted fae, love triangles that make my heart pound, and exceptional world building, These Hollow Vows is a must read for fans of Sarah J Maas and Jennifer L Armentrout.
