The Shadow Prince

In this YA romantasy trilogy debut inspired by the Greek myth of Persephone, a prince from the land of the dead infiltrates a mortal high school to seduce a girl and save his people.

“[A] smoking-hot romance and plenty of unresolved plot threads should be enough to keep readers looking out for the next installment.” —The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books

Haden Lord, the disgraced prince of the Underrealm, has been sent to the mortal world for six months to convince Daphne Raines to return with him to the land of the dead.

The best way to do this, he is told, is to get her to fall in love with him. But getting a teenage girl to fall in love with you isn’t easy, especially when Haden’s life depends on the success of his quest. Little does he know that the tenuous peace between the Greek god of the Underrealm and the Greek god of the Sky is breaking, and war is imminent.

If Haden succeeds, his honor and standing will be restored in the royal court, and Daphne will be sacrificed.

The complications Haden didn’t see coming: he’s the one who falls in love, and Daphne isn’t interested in going along with his plan.

Now Haden must choose to either fulfill his sacred duty or to follow his heart and find a way to rewrite his and Daphne’s destiny.

“Quickly escalating stakes keep the pages turning.” —Booklist

“The intersection between the Perspehone and Orpheus myths is well done, and Daphne’s refusal to be a maid in distress is refreshing. . . . For fans of Sarah McCarry’s All Our Pretty Songs . . . Meg Cabot’s Abandon, and Brodi Ashton’s Everneath.” —School Library Journal

“The story so far certainly gets the reader swept up and wanting to know more.” —Deseret News
