House of Pounding Hearts
I MEANT TO CAPTURE THE PRINCE'S HEART . . . AND ENDED UP WITH A KING'S. My desire to sit upon the Lucin throne led me to revive an ancient, winged monarch; one I deemed a friend until that friend duped and imprisoned me. Lorcan claims he's holding me captive for my own safety, but then he also claims I belong to him. Slumbering for five centuries has evidently given the Crow King severe delusions. We may share an unfortunate mind-link, but we are still masters of our own destiny, and I intend to steer mine away from the Sky Kingdom and its prophecies . . . away from him. I quickly find out there is no escaping the possessive male. In all honesty, I'm no longer certain I want to. Get swept away in the second installment of a slow-burn shifter fantasy series full of heartbreaking deceit, wicked supernaturals, and alpha males. *contains mature content. Recommended for 18+
The narrative concludes with a significant cliffhanger that leaves major plot threads unresolved for the subsequent installment in the series.
This is the second installment of the Kingdom of Crows series and relies on established character dynamics and plot developments from the first book, making it necessary to read them in order.
