(Text)
Once a servant, now a princess, a young woman thrust into power challenges everything about the underground Fae realm in the spellbinding sequel to Sarah Hawley s USA Today bestseller Servant of Earth.
Kenna Heron is still reeling from her lover s betrayal and the threat of an impending civil war. With only a sentient dagger and her two closest and most powerless friends by her side, she must navigate the treacherous politics of Mistei while coming to terms with her new identity as not just Fae, but princess of the reborn Blood House.
With the corrupt king dead at last, three candidates are vying for the crown: a princess who claims the throne as her birthright and two rebel princes, both of whom are courting Kenna s support to break the stalemate between them. Old loyalties fray as new, volatile alliances form, and Kenna finds herself caught in a web of violence and deceit and swept up in a forbidden romance as passionate as it is dangerous.
Kenna has the power to shape Mistei s future but someone s willing to kill to make sure she never gets the chance.
(Review)
"What a thrill to return to Mistei in Princess of Blood, the much-anticipated sequel to Servant of Earth! Hawley delivers it all: a protagonist coming into her own as a leader, trying to do good with powers rather dark, court intrigue (and ex-trigue), an exquisitely drawn romance and, of course, our favourite sentient dagger! I love that Hawley explores faerie stories without for a moment forgetting their cruelty. Bloody, brilliant, beautiful. Read for the lush fae aesthetics, stay for the gore." Brigitte Knightley, New York Times bestselling author of Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy
"Princess of Blood is a triumphant and sexy return to the immersive world of Mistei. All the political intrigue, court drama, and sexual tension makes me feral for more." Julie Soto, New York Times bestselling author of Rose in Chains
"Princess of Blood held me absolutely captivated. My heart pounded, my breath caught more than once, and I melted into a swooning puddle at thedelectable slow-burn romance! ...This is fantasy at its best, and I'm going to be waiting with serious impatience for the next installment." India Holton, USA Today bestselling author of The Geographer's Map to Romance
"The ruthless, scheming, fresh fae fantasy we all deserve. Princess of Blood shines with even more political backstabbing, more breathtakingly bloody parties, more fearsome fae lords who just want to get stepped on by their girl, and a pulse-pounding ending that left me shouting for the next installment." S.A. MacLean, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Phoenix Keeper
"Following tight on the heels of the thrilling conclusion of Servant of Earth, Princess of Blood finds Kenna balancing the first tender stirrings of true love (this is a kissing book) with the perilous intrigues of the Fae courts (this is a stabbing book). Perfect for all of us who prefer our heroes dark and brooding, our heroines stabby and defiant, and our villains magically shanked to death at a decadently described dinner party." Katie Shepard, author of No One Does It Like You
"With twisty court politics, devastating romance, deep female friendships, and one delightfully blood-thirsty dagger, Sarah Hawley s Princess of Blood is everything that made Servant of Earth a one-sitting binge read but BETTER. Be careful about when you start this one between the slow burn that BURNS and the pulse-pounding plot, it will keep you up way past your bedtime!" Heather Frances, author of Chase Me If You Can
