The viral TikTok fantasy romance, now in a special print edition with exclusive bonus material!
An outcast princess makes a political marriage with a reluctant king to save both their kingdoms in this first book in the viral Bride of the Shadow King series.
Though she is the oldest daughter, Princess Faraine lives in the background, shunned from court and kept out of sight. She's told her gods-gift makes her a liability to the crown, and has learned to give place to her beautiful, favored younger sister in all things.
When the handsome and enigmatic Shadow King comes seeking a bride, Faraine is not surprised that her sister is his choice.
King Vor is not eager to take a human bride, but he is willing to do what is necessary for the sake of his people. When he meets the lively Princess Ilsevel, he quickly agrees to a marriage arrangement.
So why can’t he get the haunting eyes of her older sister out of his head?
Bride of the Shadow King by author Sylvia Mercedes was a very romantic and elegant version of PNR. This is why I absolutely love the genre, all versions of it and so much variety to love!
Personally, also a big fan of BBC romance made for tv mini series. LOVE them and Bride of the Shadow King hits all those notes. It's fancy. It's charming. Plus you get a ton of fantastical beasts, unicorns are afoot and they are wild!
New takes on a very colorful and vibrant world, painted a new outside-the-box picture in a cool way. A realm on the verge of all out war and everything falls to the feet of these two sisters. The forbidden love that follows was nail biting and kept me turning the pages.
Will they, wont they. You know it's going to happen but the tease to the end is fun! I read this book in a day and enjoyed every minute of it. If you are looking for a PNR that's not filled with blood, guts, fingers and toes, then give this one a go!

Sylvia Mercedes makes her home in the idyllic North Carolina countryside with her handsome husband, numerous small children, and the dynamic cat duo known as The Fluffy Brothers. When she’s not writing she’s . . . okay, let’s be honest. When she’s not writing, she’s running around after her little girl, cleaning up glitter, trying to plan healthy-ish meals, and wondering where she left her phone. In between, she reads a steady diet of fantasy novels.
But mostly she’s writing.
After a short career in traditional publishing (under a different name), Sylvia decided to take the plunge into the indie publishing world and is enjoying every minute of it. She's the author of the bestselling Venatrix Chronicles, The Scarred Mage of Roseward trilogy, and the romantic fantasy duology, Of Candlelight and Shadows.
